Haha yeah I figured a 29 would be a PITA so that's why I'll be setting up a 20 long over the 29

Thank you :) I was relieved how much space i was able to create in the 55gal with the rock. It took time but I was able to get it in and leave plenty of space for the fish to swim.

Unfortunately no, I just got back from class around 7:45. Than I actually had to return a metal stand i bought from my LFS. Reason was I moved my planted 55gal into my bedroom and needed a stand for it, I figured a metal one would be fine except it was very wobbly. I wound up going to PETCO and picking up a 40Breeder and Stand there for 100 bucks and returning the stand ( well for store credit because i lost the receipt ) Its okay i needed salt anway, still have an extra 20 bucks on the card.
Anyway.. I do have the RO/DI unit but in order to hook it up I need to get a few things from a hardware store and mount it on the wall. Than hopefuly tomorrow night things will get going..
Question, add the Live rock the day after I add the water/salt? right?

At the moment I have hooked up the RO/DI unit and its currently filling.. very slowly.
Its hooked up to bathroom sink, unit is in the hallway on a chair than the out tube is placed within the tank. Can't wait til its full

Realized major mess up, did not add salt before ro water.. spend a great deal of time slowly adding it in but I have two 400gph powerheads running
I'm going to finish filling tomorrow than the sump will be going hopefully exactly how I plan.

leak in return line :tsk: may try to switch the whole return system to hose instead of pvc with elbows. that may have been my mistake since there is pressure. I actually should research that now.. which i never did ughhh

Leak was not from return but it was from the bulkhead for my overflow. Used aquarium silicone and its good to go. Dry floor since than.
As of a few days ago have whole system rocking and rolling, skimmer is running and added 5 pounds of tukani live rock to seed the dry. Finally cycle is in process. Only 5.5 weeks to go. :tongue:
Still have a canopy to make , going to run a track light with par38's from rapidled
