Default Steve'o Tank Journal

Well might as well join the crowd and start my Journal of my tank build.
I have a 28 Gal Nano and caught the Saltwater bug a few months ago but wanted to get a bigger tank and take my time and do it properly.
As I rushed into my 28G way too fast. and had problems.
I bought a used system from Kijiji that included tones of stuff.
90 Gal Tank
Great looking stand.. all smoked glass doors on 3 sides
Sump with bio-balls
return pump
Red Sea Skimmer
Huge box of extras.. too much to name..

Here is a few pics of when i got it home
Inlet and drain lines


Sump with existing plumbing


So my first step.. was to get rid of the bio-balls and chuck all the plumbing.
I also have painted the back of the tank black cleaned it all out and placed some egg crate on the bottom of the tank.
pics coming
Steve
