Decided to try the Aquaforest route with this tank. will see what happens, Ill have my Fritz salt on standby.

Finally received the call to schedule the delivery appointment. Tomorrow is the day! I'm pumped to finally get this tank. Not sure when il begin working on it.

Well I ran into some issues during the plumbing of my custom sump. Things just weren't going to work out. For now I've hooked up the stock sump.

Still going to explore the custom sump options but for now it'll do.

Going to begin setting up my electronics and working on routing my cables next.

Thanks man! Yours is looking sweet as well! You have a few extra goodies I may have to look into down the road.

Are you using the Red Sea Ato?

I did buy it but I'm holding off using it at first. I figure I will use the stock ato for the first few weeks, then decide on a larger exterior ato reservoir and then hook it up. 1 less thing to mess with at start up.

Curious where everyone has placed their MP40's? Side glass or back facing forward?

Alittle madness shot before the beauty.

I also recieved my G4 today from a trade with a R2R member. Decided to check it out. I think you would honestly be okay with 2 radions, in the picture I even have it mounted front/back rather the left/right. but I'm glad I grabbed a 3rd just incase.

Have a sad update. Not sure how I even missed these. 3 hair line cracks at the top of the overflow.
