Looking good, Your on your way to having a beautiful tank. After some LR and letting it sit until the mini cycle is over you can add a fish or two.

Janey,

Please be patient - coming along, but still a long way to go.

Enjoy the journey and good luck.

Janey,

One question. Why is the tank not leveled? I see the water line is not even with the top line of the tank? If the weight of the tank is not evenly distributed, you may have problems like a crack or a leak in the future.

:lol: JS, I was jusT taLking to Janey and she said the same thing ...she said it was her fLoors... :scratchch

you gotta get a level and some pieces of plywood or something to jack up the stand.
I dont think there's a floor in New York thats totally level.

 

[Josh]

It can be off by a little, but that looks like just less than an inch, which is probably not a good idea.

 

[Nsr250NYC]

try foam mats or something from hd or lowes. there is one not far from my house. you can check that out after you stop by my house tomorrow.

Janey,
Looking good with the tank. You could use shims under the stand and that would help out a lot. My floor is off by about 1/8th-1/4th of an inch from the front to the back of the tank.

Got a way to go, just take it slow

Ok My tank with some live rocks

I got from NSR250NYC ...

And yes i'm gonna use shims . But won't they mess up the tank stand ??
Which by the way i'm gonna try and built a better stand ..


So what else do i do.. as tank is cycleing..
Oh yea the power heads do i aim it on the rocks or above the rocks. being its a small tank .

 

[inkblue]

:smokin: hi Janey... maybe you can create some soRt of current/circular pattern for youR fLow :afro: in mine, one is aimed at the front and 1 at the back and anoTher towards the front... it'S liKe dancing... jiggy wid it

Hey Josh, my floors are perfectly level. But then again i have concrete slabs for floors.

Shims would be ok but try to shim the entire side of the tank and not just certain points because it the shims get wet and settle you are back to square one.
