This rock is looking pretty good so far. I'm going to drain this rinse and refill with bleach water. The tank will be delivered next Wednesday :oops: time to get busy and ready to store it!

Also I decided to take the 75 gallon tank I was going to use and replace my 55 gal cichlid tank with it, that 55gallon will be a great quarantine tank that I'll set up in the basement! Things will be coming together slowly but surely

Looking good! Do you think you'll have to add dechlor to your rocks or just give them a few rinses and let them air dry?
I'm quite far off from adding them to a circulating system however they've been soaking in a fairly strong solution, I'll probably have to rinse them several times and maybe add it afterwards in the final soak

I'll also be painting the back and bottom of the tank flat black with Rust-Oleum, I'm assuming it'll take about 2-3 pints for each side.
I'm still not quite sure if I'm going to do any sand in the main tank but want the option there. I was considering setting up a smaller 20gal with a deep sand bed tied into the system but it'll all depend on the amount of space I'll have for equipment

Well it's finally here! Got it inside the house without a problem and it looks beautiful. My mind has been going on and on about what all I'll be needing next and what my final design will be, many things have changed lol.
