And here is where im at. 30 LBS of LR. 10 LBS of Cured rock are feeding my newly aquired 20lbs of Reef Saver rock. Im pretty happy with the way it looks, although i do have some rock touching the back glass. Im getting alot of micro bubbles, but other then that im okay. I'll probably stack up the rock later as i get more and more, but im not rushing anything at this point.
Equipment at this point:
Tomms Rapid Pro Series Filter (1st or 2nd gen)
Aqualight T5 Dual Fluorescent Light (upgrading to a 4x31w light soon)
AquaClear 150w (might put in a second one since its starting to get colder out and i like to keep windows open in my room)
2 Hydor Koralia Nano PH's (220 and 425)
30lbs of LR
30lbs of LS
Still on the to do list:
Ro/Di
Auto Top Off
Build a Sump using a 10g
Display refugium? hmmmm
CUC (15g reefcleaners cookie cutter with maybe 1 Blue legged hermit)
Planned Stock List in order:
Watchman Goby with Tiger Pistol
Baby pair of ocellaris clowns (or Percs)
Yellow tail Damsel
Red Fin Fairy Wrath (Something red)
Corals:
Plan to start out with Muchrooms or Button Polyps and maybe a Xenia to get my hands wet (no pun intended)
What do you guys think?

Looks pretty, love the smell of a new tank. One thing it looks like your rock is sitting on top of the sand. You want it to sit on the bottom glass so creatures don't get crushed if and when they dig under the rock.

So much has no changed its not even funny lol. I keep changing my mind on what direction to go in.
Decided i wanted to drill the tank before even adding the CUC to the tank so i might be ordering from glass-holes soon. Put the 24inch coralife PC lights on and i like the color. also kept the t5 light strip going too, just for added lights. The PC is sitting on glass sheets i cut out (on my own
)
no corals
no cuc
no fish
just equipment, rocks and grass...lmoooo

SOOOOOO. here was how my weekend panned out.
450gph return
700gph Drain... and fun dip =)
Moving the water and rocks to my 20g
Started by placing it outsideand locating the exact spot for the drain
To dark outside so i went to my basement. Set down the template, estimated and prayed
Loaded the drill and prayed some more
taadaaaaaaa
2 holes. pretty easy all things considered
not to bad. didnt have a level so i did it by eye and by my iphone app
and set..Siliconed everything
and the pumbing begins
Plumbing mostly complete. I'm setting up a display Refuge, which is why i have that T there. Its an 1.5 inch T with an adapter to fit 1/2 in pvc
Unfortunatly, i hear the damn water hitting the first 45 degree bend... any ideas? i havent sealed everything due 3 leaks in different areas (2 on the return, one on the drain)

All leaks have been located and fixed. Rocks are back in and this time nothing is touching the back glass pain.Heater is now inside the sump, as it should be. Need to put the PH's back in. Light are back on top.. just dealing with a slight gurgling sound coming from the overflow but that's to be expected as i calibrate the flows just right. I'm almost done and will be ordering my CUC from reefcleaners on Friday.. im so flipping excited right now
