pics with some water, i filled it up a few days ago, no big problems but the tank is a bit uneven which is a pain cause if i want to fix it i need to drain the whole tank im shure so i can slide something either under the tank or under the stand.
im super happy i did the rockwall even if it was a bunch of work i really looks good in person and when the tank is full of rocks it should help blend everything in nicely
im a bit annoyed with the sump, i ordered it before i had all the stuff so the chamber for the skimmer and return are a bit small and with the bigger than expected red dragon return and plumbing it quite crammed, biggest issue is the skimmer, without a stand it sits right at the line for the water limit but dont really work so i made a eggcrate stand to lift it up a bit, the skimmer's running ok but its louder than i hopedfor kind of a constant humming and a slight air sucking sound, its the humming thats the issue,im not shure if thier is an ideal hight the skimmer should sit in the water but id like to figure it out before making a glass stand for it, on the eggcrate the skimmer sits a bit slanted cause the rummer feet on the bottom.
