Just add water Red Sea 425 XL / WrasseTasic

[Crabby48]

Wired the back of the controller panel. Still have to clean a few wires up but it’s close.

It is hard to photograph but here it is. Looking from the back this is the left wall. All power supply’s and battery backup.

This is the right side looking in from the back.

Back side of the controller board and the top has two industrial tripp light power strips

Very clean. Nice!

@Katrina71 Why thank you. I’m a bit of a slob but projects I OCD

If a tank is full of rodi, rock and sand how should I add salt. I have my return and 1 MP40 for circulation.

Should I add salt slow in the return chamber or add salt to the display?
I’m not positive if it will fall in the sand and rocks causing it not to mix.

Add slowly to the display near the return or PH. Add a little, wait, add more wait, etc.

Looks like a good build. The rockscape is nice I wouldn't worry about that!

Loving the build so far! Don't mind me as I set up camp on your floor.

Thanks for the help again. I’m a slow learner but I’ll get there

Thank you for stoping by and for the compliment. I’m so overwhelmed with everything but slowly getting there

I’m hurrying.
The fish. That brings up a lot more I don’t knows.

I’m so excited now!

Thank you.
You can camp out on my floor any time. Only thing I ask is to help a little

In a empty tank, you can add it pretty much wherever.

It will all dissolve eventually. I'm not patient enough to add a little at a time to a livestock free tank. I would dump in alot at once, wait until it was mixed in, and repeat until I get close. Then add a bit at a time to hit the proper SG.

Thanks for the advice unfortunately I have decided to take the long approach. I have nothing but time to kill at this moment.

When to the LFS for a Milwaukee salinity tester and found him.
He was caged up for being bad. He wanted to go home with me

@Katrina71 thank you. I had great people guiding me along. I removed the paper fish for the pictures so everyone wouldn’t laugh at me.

@mmw64 I’m handy with a lot of stuff but wood work. Now that I said that I’m sure my plumbing will leak everywhere.
Half the reason for getting in this hobby was for the setup of the equipment I love to do projects.
I think I may have seen 2 people who didn’t complain or have an issue with Red Sea top off so that was a priority.
Thank you for stoping by my thread. Do you have a thread or pictures of your tank?

Sorry no. I'm not handy and have to have my grandson help me post pictures! Love to see other peoples builds though.

Yeh right! Lol

Infact thinking about it, this happens to me every time I go to the LFS as well!

Nicely done! Looks clean and well organized. Do you have a light for under the cabinet? I have found that adding one was the second best additions when I re-did my tank.
