Here are some of the earlier shots. I set it up this weekend and did the plum yesterday. I will finish today and post some more pics.

Thanks for the help. I used plastic shims and the tank is perfectly level.

I have about 100lbs of Fiji pink LS that I did not use. To store it, do I need to dry it out? It's not in bags.

Question: shims are for the tank to floor Foam is from tank to stand? Sorry just want to level the tank and not have the tank level me

No shims just the foam?

I am going to level my tank but not sure what is the best way to do this. I know the floor is not level. The tank is a 4X4 Move stand to location Place tank on stand Break out level and shim where it is low? The tank will be on a 1st floor on tile. Am I missing anything? What type of shims to I...

This is good reading. Just to give you an idea. I have been using Marine Environments for 2 years and here is what I have noticied. Every time I mix a 50 gal bag and the parameters are on the money. I mean every time. I like my water at 1.026 so I mix 47.5 gallans and bingo 1.026 ph and alk...

perfect! Thanks

I am in the middle of setting up a frag tang and found a deal on 440lbs of LS. The sand is in 11 buckets and I will not be using the sand till Friday. Will the sand be ok till Friday or do I need to do something with it. The sand was taken out of the tank today and I do not care if it stays...

Hey Guys thanks for the response. Never been a fan of damsels but definatley a kole and wrases. Want to keep fish for good tank balance.

Hi jman A couple of questions: How old is your tank and what do you have in it? Your ammonia should be at 0 at all times. Good test kits to have: Nitrate Nitrite Ph Alk Calcium Ammonia A refractometer to test salenity

I want to run it like a regular reef tank. It's a 4X4 so they will have plenty of room to swim. Thanks for the suggestions
