[samksy]

looking good sir!

Thanks Allan, and thanks for the tips on template or else i think the wholes will be bad....lol!

Looking good and no problem helping out a bud. Like how you cleaned up the sump.

Thanks . I actually only clean the front of the sump only, still need to work on the back. I popped out the front studd, i think it's gonna stay off. Should have listen to you and leave th sump out, gotta clean up a bit more and put in the baffle.

Pop out the sump and build the baffles, lol. You can move it slowly with some styrofoam/cardboard to keep from scratching the stand.

Ah no problem, you had it under control regardless I can already tell. Sorry I didn't make it out to help, keep me posted on the next move.

You, the sump is out and cleaned. Just gotta go get some glass cut to size tomorrow and hopefully get the time to install it.

Thanks Eric!

Although all plumbing is not ready yet, I already filled the tank half full to start the tank cycle . still waiting for some parts and pump to connect everything.

 

[samksy]

Some updates.

Finally added rocks and put I a few shrimp to start the cycle. The sump still needs to be glue and plumb to the DT.

 

[samksy]

The marco rocks looks great and easy to scape

Hung one of my light

Light hung using PVC. What you think?

 

[n3hihz]

Wow talk about rapid build.

I like the PVC light holder would you be able to adjust it if you wanted to?

Thanks n3hihz! I think I slowed down a bit compare to my previous build...heheheehe....Yes, u would just have to replace the bottom part of the PVC with a longer piece or just connect to another piece to make it longer, or trim it down.

Hi Mike, thank you! Wish my tank would look as good as yours some day. Your tank is awsome. Are you still running it bare bottom? I'm going to run it bare bottom and see if I like it, if not I'll add sand back in.

I would put a piece of starboard the length of the bottom of the tank to keep a heavy rock from dropping directly onto the glass bottom to protect your investment.

Yes still BB and loving it
Tank is not as good as it once was I lost or removed my acropora due to AEFW
Live and learn. I also starved my tank, remember when you go BB you need to feed your tank

Gota love this hobby.......always learning and trying to improve

I cemented my rocks together so I should be fine. Chance are I might put sand back in the tank. I stil have 100lbs of sand sitting aside from my break down....hehehe.

Sorry to hear the AEFW. I hope your tank recover better than before soon. I don't think I'll ever starve my tank. I love feeding my tank....hahaha, more of over feeding. Since going bare bottom, did you experience unwanted algea bloom of any kind?

 

[xclusive252]

Good luck bro and let me know if you need help or anything

No but it is amazing what purges out of the live rock.
Just keep blowing off the rock with a turkey baster.
