I'll get some when it clears (IF)
....We may have to fix some on the right since we couldn't see what we were doing anymore

It has always cleared pretty quickly for me in past experience. Lookin good
Can't wait to see my...err your light on that tank haha.
Good work, anything interesting hitchhike on? The most interesting thing I ever got was an emerald crab
Some people are luckier though...post some pics when it clears and when you get your equipment

Nice work

Did you swish the rock around to get the loose stuff off first? Rock has a lot of dead stuff on it if ammonia reached that high in your tote in 24 hours.
Scape does look good.

YUP....I swished and swooshed
....I will do a test on the tank tomorrow night....I still have to add more water, should I do it now...or wait?...Probably needs 4" or so
Thank you thank you...I was so worried...I thought the right side was going to be bad....BUT Like I said I kinda like it

I read that...it was a long time ago though...march...this is April

I think SOFT...I have my filter on, my lights are on, and my 1 little PH...My new lights and protein skimemr will be here Friday....The other 2 Koralias....I do not know yet.
Anything else I need to do? Should I put this light on a timer? Or will a few hours a night be enough (when I get home)..I think I have another timer
It would only be till Friday anyway!

Oh yeah...neither is really, "better" but most would go with soft since well you can keep some more critters alive this way. Some however don't care and just take the lazier way out.

what kind of sand did you use?
the ls i get from my lfs comes out of a ls tank and when you put it in the tank there is almost no cloudiness..

WELL...Unfortunately I do not have a LFS...so Iwent to TX to a p e t c o and bought 20 lbs of Natures Ocean Live Reef sand, and 10 lbs of white sand...that was almost a week ago (page 2 or 3) It was clear..and tonight we stirred it up when we put the rock in....it is almost all clear again now.

oh, that is roughhh no lfs.
you know, i have tried the bag of sand and i didn thave to much of a problem with the cloudyness but maybe its the white sand?
it does look really nice and clean white though. i will admit that!

now i know u have been asked alot, but what do you plan to keep fish wise in this badboy?

I have no clue yet....I figure I still have a month to decide while it cycles...I want some shrimp cause I can't have them in my 225g cause the stingray eats them, and can't have the fancy shrimp in the 54g cause I have seahorses
....so besides that I HAVE NO CLUE

The 54 has seahorses, a few fish and a few corals
I think Rays a re considered aggressive, but mine just likes shrimp
and crabs too..oh and nudibranches, sea slugs..get the point
But it also eats right out of my hand too...I have lots of fish with it and it bothers nothing but inverts
