so i decided to turn my last freshwater tank into a reef so I'm a full convert to the salty side now. i started by curing some dry rock in a lg Rubbermaid tub with some fish & a few chunks of rock from my 240g for a year. i built a new stand for this tank to hold a 100g tank for my sump/ato tank & installed internal overflows as this tank was set up for hob equipment. i drilled the bottom for a full siphon drain set up. I made mounting for the lights from 3/4" conduit & painted them black. the plan is to go lps for this tank mostly torches/hammers/frogspawn. i decided to use live sand in this tank, still not sure about that choice but I'm going with it. the tank has been running since late December had a bit of the gha stage more on the sand than the rock. i also bought a apex/trident/dos for this tank i got that set up for the most part still a few things left to get everything plugged into the power bar. i got some fish a few wrasse some zebra dart fish pajama cardinals a pair of mocha storm clowns. the algae is slowing down & pretty much under control. i thought i would do a thread to keep track of the growth & progression of this tank
