Hadsdad's 30g Tall build

[Hadsdad]

Since I am new, I thought I would start a build thread (so I could get a cool badge) ;)

10 years ago I had multiple tanks going and took them all down because of family commitments. But I knew I would be back, so I kept a lot of equipment. So this build we be done with as much "already owned" equipment I can use.

Equipment
30g Tall Aquarium
Tidal 75 HOB filter (new)
Hydor nano Skimmer
200w heater
165w LED Black Box lights
2 - 500gph powerheads (alternating on a Ocean pulse wavemaker)
Float valve auto top off

I will be adding 15ilbs of dry rock and 10lbs of live rock as well as sand.

Not sure where I am headed with this...only time will tell.

Today I went in the shed and dug out the equipment I am going to start this journey with.
With a 15 year old beat up stand, homemade hood, and dirty bucket of equipment, you know this tank is going to be a "show stopper"!

Ok... so it won't be much of a show tank, but it will be mine.

Tank stand is off to a good start!

The other day I finished the stand and hood, setup the tank, and added sand, water, and rock!
