Nice job, I really like that wood finish. You might consider running a bead of black silicone were you cut out around the overflow, salt creep and gunk may build up- maybe my ocd kicking in;) GL

Thanks! Good idea. I can relate. This is a great hobby for OCD![emoji1]

Got the Vortec and two digital thermometers running. Not sure if I need to run the power head during cycle but I figure it can't hurt.

Doors off. Everything running. Took the skimmer and filter socks out on advice from LFS guy. Will re-install after fish introduced.

Nearly cycled. Why can I never get the API ammonia test to go full yellow? The seachem badge is full yellow on both the QT and display.
