You forgot the book OJ wrote about how he was going to find the real killers of his wife and Ron Goldman.

It might have been a reaction from the Floridians shivering from the 25+ degree temps...

All the rock is from the old tank, and 2/3 or so are from the old tank, the rest is new. I did rinse the old sand and the rock in some of the old water, I made about 150 gallons of new salt and RO/DI. Then filled the rest with old water.

Just wanted to post a picture of my 180 gallon setup. I have had this up for a week now with some new steps for me and a transfer of my 135 system. I have been checking the parameters all week and with some water, Rock and sand from my old tank, I have no noticeable change. I want to get my fish...

Just added some Homemade corner covers for the tank. I had them soaking in fresh for the cement curing process. Now I still want more rock.

A couple more Pictures....

Well, here is the latest update. I got the tank up with a little help from the auto equipment. Next, I started the RO/DI unit in the garage. As of now, I have to manually start and stop the process, but more updates on that later. I started the plumbing and then did some change-ups. but it...

Your first post mentioned Bioballs, Are they being rinsed in the discarded water to get the loose detritus out? That is one reason I went with just LRR and will put together a sand bed in my sump. I have heard you should rinse about a third to half every water change. Hope it helps.

Go with the Peyton Manning thing and get flames painted on it.... I actually saw a Caravan with flames put on with decals a week after that commercial came out and almost had an accident.

I have not done a rock wall, but I wonder if you were to mix some sand with the Epoxy and make a slurry to paint on. JUust a suggestion.

There are some good threads here and on -- about overflows and DIY Overflows. My 135 has a Modified Durso that drains up and over into my sump. Just search and re-search. They all have pros and cons.

I have a Zeon puck style light for my sump/fuge that stays on 24/7. It has given me a nice start on the mangroves and have added them to my new stand. The new set up will have lights on a timer, so the sump/fuge light will be on with the moon lights of the tank.

I took a side of my HOB ? Penguin filter and added Live rock rubble, the other side has the standard filter. This was my first and now quarantine tank. I may pull the LRR for the new system.

as I said, here is my sump and the plan for my 180 gallon tank.

I am working on a 180G tank for my Living room. I hope to put the mangroves along the top back of my display (and out of my sump). I will try to post some pics of my sump later as they are on my laptop. I will say I have not had a nitrate problem in my tank so far. (Knock on wood...)
