Looking good Scott!!!
Thank AL, I am happy with it, just going to get about 25# of live rock to put in it and then it should be set.. I will post some more pics of all the little caves and stuff that are in the rock work.. There are many of them.. lol

The tank looks great, Scott. You're hard work is paying off. Just remember to have good surface movement for good oxygen exchange (can't tell either way from the pics).

If I were a fish I would want to live in one of those caves!!!!

Thanks will be adding about 25# of live rock also.. Hope it cycles fast lol. But I am a patient person so I can wait.. lol

Woo hoo just checked the SG with the Refractometer and it was 1.025. I guess I did something right when I mixed the salt in 3 buckets of water lol ha ha .....

lol yeah i think that was, "just keep swimming, just keep swimming." lol but its the same concept tho.... I can wait if i waited 2 years to get this tank up and running what is another month or so.

QT is doing great no problem with it at all. Fish, hermits and snails that are in there are doing fine.. Been going for a while.....

 

[scott t]

I got a question, why out of the end of the Return lines I am using an end that has 8 holes so that means there are 4 of them in the tank am I getting micobubbles in the tank from them ??? should I change them to something else or just get plugs and take them off and plug the ends of them???

 

[scott t]

These are pics of the top of the tank you can see the water movement in them. lol I thought they were cool..
