Tank is looking amazing! My tank has been up and running for 7 days now and I am having a hard time figuring out why my tank hasn't really shown any algae growth. I have live sand and real reef rock from Liverocknreef.com

Keep it up! Are you still thinking about adding the clowns? Beautiful little guys. I plan to myself to add a few once it is done cycling.

@Will Godfrey look at his hydor. This will give you an idea where to best place yours. I also think the owner is close in age.

Looking to set up one of these myself. Have the tank in my room right now, just gotta go buy all my rock, sand, and filtration media. Picking up a heater and some reef Chrystal’s tomorrow, then I’m going to be mixing up about 5 gallons of water, placing my rock and sand in , then the rest of the water in the same bucket. I’m planning on adding some bio spira to get the filtration going early. Then I’ll be off to the races with my cycle.

UPDATE: hey guys! Haven't posted in a while... probably because not much happening until today! I spent some time dog walking and baby sitting to get some extra cash to buy some flirtation media and an in tank media basket! Today everything was delivered and I set everything up. For filtration, I got chemipure blue, seachem purigen, and two quarts of the marine pure spheres.I installed the chamber one media basket with a sponge cut out to fit on the top, the chemipure blue in the middle rack, and the purigen in the bottom rack along with some extra marine pure. Cycle is done!! Today I'm going to do a water change a buy a Wyoming white tomorrow. Pictures below.

Hi I’m new to the evo tank it’s all set up and running for few weeks. Major bacterial bloom, got my skimmer working. I noticed you don’t seem to have one?? Or is there something else I can get. Mine sticks out like a sore thumb! Any help with the evo is greatly appreciated

You had any problems with the pump sucking up a load of marine pure dust into main tank?? I have the same set up, but finding I’m getting those particles being pumped into my tank
