Waiting for the tank to cycle, forgot how much work it is to set up a tank

whoa this is super cool! I love the small cabinet for the electronics, I wish I thought of that!
How do you like the biosphere things (I can't remember what they're actually called).

I was thinking about taking them out, I feel like there's to much flow and they're starting to fall apart. I'm getting like fine sand in the sump from them

Oh wow. Can you replace them with socks or anything?
I'm kinda glad I got my INT 75 before they came with sumps, I liked being able to pick my own sump.

I kind of want to move my skimmer over and install a fleece roller in that chamber. I definitely wanted another sump but I guess I can always swap it out

Gorgeous 'scape, love it! I just got my EXT 100 and assembled the stand yesterday.

Ordered a side cabinet to keep most of the electrical in

Is that the IM APS Aquarium Stand [Fusion 14 Peninsula] you've used? Great idea!

Thanks, I went with the aps fusion 15 stand

Decided to build a mixing station. Containers are so pricey, but I think it'll be worth it. I'm done carrying jugs of water!

Tank update, I ended up having to swap the tank out because the back panel was separating. IM was super easy to deal with and sent a New tank right away. Been dealing with diatoms for the last few months finally going away.

I really need to learn how to take better pictures

Love what you have done. Would you purchase this tank again? Looking at one now. How tall of a protein skimmer could fit in that sump. And what length of heater. I bought a water box 230.6 Infinia aquarium. And realized I want a smaller tank. So the tank is in my garage still in its crate. And I am now looking for a new tank. How much space does the plumbing need between the tank and wall? Sorry for all the questions. Any updates on your tank?
