Alright, I got my rocks cooked in muriatic acid, bleached, dried and welded together over the weekend, wrapped up the shadow box and it's all in the tank. Looks good.
I'm putting sand in now. My light should be here tomorrow and I'll fill 'er up with water.
I have just a few other things to do. I need to install the light, the auto feeder, the nem light and fabricate a hinged acrylic lid for the ATO and water changer reservoir. Then it'll be time to wait. I'll be running heavy carbon and GFO for a couple weeks to yank out any contaminates and phosphate. Then we'll see if it can support life.
Here's a video of the aquascape. Check out and subscribe to my YouTube channel for more to come and cool diving videos.
Man! Your build's craftsmanship is amazing! Much better looking and well though out than anything that you have to spend a fortune on to buy. I can't believe you can make 40gallons Aqueons look that good.
Questions:
1. Is your sump no removable from the stand?
2. How or what do you use to make and power/control the background lighthing? ( I skimming thru the thread and might have missed it)
