Looking good, can't wait to see the progress, can I just ask, why the skimmer stand?
The NYOS runs best in around 8 inches of water .. the reefer sump runs at around 11 inches in the skimmer compartment. So the stand will raise it up 3 inches ..

How many days until it goes to "Houston, we have a problem"?
Are you running filter socks, and if so, do you have slime forming on the inside of them?And Houston, we have a problem right out of the gate!!
While waiting for my shipment of live rock from Tamp Bay Saltwater to arrive, I started noticing my water getting cloudy. Now the system has been running at 78 degrees with the pumps running and skimmer running to break in, but man , the water looks terrible! Real cloudy like a bacterial bloom I would say.. So first off I turned off the skimmer thinking maybe micro bubbles, no change after 24 hours. I then put 2 cups of ROX .08 in bags in the filter socks, absolutely no change at all after 24 hours. I added absolutely no organics or anything to the system. So I decided to empty out the 100 or so gallons and refill fresh over the weekend. My live rock should be here next week.. Inspecting the system to see if I can figure out what caused it..
Nice build and will be following, curious to see how you like the GHL.
Thanks!!Great progress so far! Can’t wait to see what’s to come.
If I ever set up another system I'll be using Tampa live rock. Pricey, but I think it is worth it.And the journey of life begins....
The big jet plane brought some goodies for me to the airport today.
Hats off to Tampa Bay Saltwater for some amazing live rock fresh out of the Gulf! Richard and Debbie were wonderful to work with and had great communication throughout the process. The packaging was second to none and they all arrived in excellent condition. When you opened the bags they smelled fresh out of the gulf, not a hint of death at all. And as you will see below, the rock is packed with life. I have them placed in the tank spread out as I will watch for any undesirables for a couple of weeks before I setup the aquascape. I already hear the clicking of either a pistol shrimp or a mantis shrimp. Makes it much easier to remove a rock if I have to pull something out.
Some quick IPhone Pics...
Looks great. Love Tampa rocks. Think I'll start with his stuff on my next tank as well.
