Rocks
 

Well I added roughly 40 pounds of rock today.

I do not think its enough. I will be adding from my other 2 tanks... roughy 20 pounds or so.

I hope this is enough.

It is a work in progress. The rock work is tentative as I have more rock to add. I am going for the dual masses look. Lights are still missing but hopefully soon!

BRS
 

My Finnex HMA-300 heater and check valves arrived from Bulk Reef today.

Heater is in.

I will attempt to get the check valves done tonight as well. Should be an easy swap out.

Glad the overflow works, tanks coming along.

LIGHTS and stuff
 

Sooooo... after a long time looking and TRYING to find a good light... it looks like one is coming my way.

Sunlight Supply Tek Light 6 Bulb T5 Fixture (48 Inch, 6x54W).

Thanks Wes for hooking me up with your friend. 6 bulb T5 don't seem to come around very often on here so I committed to the purchase right away.

Although I do not have it in my hands yet.... it appears that John is willing to sell it to me. I am going to go see it Thursday... or so. He needs the light for about another 10 days as he is waiting for his new light to show up.

As I am still cycling... I can wait 10 more days for this.

My new check valves went in last night as well. Running great.


Thats todays update. Thanks for tuning in.

Current Set Up
 

70 Gallon display
40 gallon total sump volume - 30 gallons water
Euro-Reef RS80
Quiet One 3000 return pump
Finnex HMA-300 heater


60 pounds Aragamax™ Select sand
50-60 pounds live rock (at this time)

Nice set up...throwing two cents in. On the overflow box, put some eggcrate on the inside so it overlaps to make the holes smaller. I did that with my overflows...used acrylic glue to glue them together, works pretty ok...just a suggestion. Looks good so far though.

Good thought. I may also use some on the inside to raise the water level a little more.... its about 3/8" below trim and I would like it to the trim at least.

Power heads
 

I ordered powerheads from Reef Pefection today. He had a great deal on Koralia 3's and 2's. He only had one 3 left so I also took a Koralia 2.

I hope one Koralia 3 and one Koralia 2, in conjunction with my return lines, is enough flow.

The Koralia 3 was $31 and the Koralia 2 was $27.

Too good of a deal and fit my current budget.
