I just picked it up this weekend. I am going to build my stand, while I am building the stand I thought I would gather some tips on setting up the filtration system ( some do's and do nots)
Also any mods you can recommend.
Thank you in advance.

Well I finished the stand tonight. I think I will get some rock ordered and some sand then I should be off into cycle land..

I would never use damsels....I am going to go with uncured rock. The rock should kick off the cycle just fine, and since I have to wait any way I can see what develops from the rock..
All my previous tanks were cycled with uncured rock
I will get a pic when I leak test it this week

I was going to get the last clear coat on the stand tonight but I ran out of energy so pics will have to wait till later in the week..
Not that I am getting ahead of my self but I have had a very hard time on deciding on what fish will go into it.
Here is what I know right now. Live sand, 30 to 40 LBS of uncured live rock and of course an appropriate CUC..
I am planning on Zoa's, leathers LPS ( i have to have a brain of some kind) Acans and duncans
I know that I will end up with only 2 or 3 small fish I just cant make up my mind . I do know I want some thing kind of unique or at least not so common..
I guess the long and short of this is " any suggestions"?
Again I realize fish are a while off but making my mind up on what fish has always been a little troubling for me.
Thanks Peter
