Great picture Noah

So are you going to open it for us or what, it’s like Christmas! Lol

And welcome to R2R as well!

Great picture! I’m very familiar with Red Sea ,and it’s sad how damaged these boxes are.. You should ask for replacement. I have known many tanks where they look fine even though the box is damaged but when they add water it’s not a pretty site.

Anybody have any suggestions on what I should do with this 40 some odd pounds of BRS pukani Rock. It has been in this brute trash can, which has two power heads, for 9 months. I stopped doing water changes on it after 2 months. Last time I checked, the the cycle was almost complete, but that was 7 months ago.

I cannot decide if I’m going to use this rock or Marcos rock. I’d love to use this, but I’m afraid I have cooked this to the point of no return, regarding phosphates mostly.

Flooring is done, and it’s now time to assemble the tank.

Did you get things up and running updates?

 

[Dodgersallday]

Yes, I have the stand built, but I’ve been saving for a radion xr30w g4 pro. Debating on whether to go led alone or get the aquaticlifet5/LED hybrid fixture.

Love the flooring. If I was going to add t5 I would look at getting some halides and skipping the Radion. Of course just my opinion.

With such a small tank a single led should be fine. However t5 & led could be good too. Have to be careful not to provide too much light. Fyi nice flooring.

 

[Dodgersallday]

Well, I finally got everything. All I need now is a heater.

 

[Dodgersallday]

After sitting on the floor for a year, the tank is now on the stand.

 

[Dodgersallday]

I’m debating whether or not to hang this from the ceiling, which will take a long time, or to just buy the mount that goes on the wall.

 

[Dodgersallday]

Made a trip to Unique Corals so I could select Marcos rock with my own eyes and hands. I got about $160 worth of rock. It’s a mixture of the flat base rock, boulder, and shelf rock. Here is what I made.

 

[Dodgersallday]

I don’t think I’m going to go with the one that has the long rock in the front because I don’t like the shadowing it will create and I want to be able to see sand at the front of the tank.
