What A Time To Be Alive

Friends, here is some of the progress:


1) moved stand and tank 60miles and is now in its final place
2) RODI installed
3) Leak test done
4) Processed and mixed 150+ Gallons of salt water
5) Sand acquired, rinsed and placed in tank
6) Rocks added to tank (same rocks it had before)
7) Salinity and temperature stable in tank (Return pump, skimmer and power heads running)
8) Added brick with bacteria to sump

Next steps:

9) Figure out ATO and load up with RODI water (1 week goal)
10) Install lights on ceiling (1-2 week goal)
11) Setup smaller quarantine tank and cycle (2-3week goal)
12) Let main tank cycle through and window shop/visit local reef enthusiasts! (1-3 months?)

Shoutout to everyone that has helped so far!
