HA its a wee bit of an upgrade. At least I have a sump now. I think the total volume will be about 37gal of water. so doubling my system... lets see how long this one lasts.

Tomorrow I am getting the glass cut to baffle the sump, changing a bit in the plumbing and getting my rock work secure and sand in the tank. So as it sits, fingers crossed, I will be wet a week sunday as long as no issue arise.

Oh and I will have to come grab that frag next month. I'm due for another session drowling at the PM hating my life for not being able to run one on this system

Had a busy night. Baffled my sump, check my plumbing and everything is perfect. If I get bored enough tomorrow I test it out




Also finished up my rock work. I know it just looks like a pile of rock against the wall but it has a bunch of ledges. Should be cool once everything grows in.

I made sure those baffles weren't going to move. The glass was cut 1/4 inche short so i had to make up for 1/4" on each side. At that point plastering it on was the only option. But I totally agree, its hard to do a clean silicone job.

Its offical, water is in the new cube. So as of now, the earliest day coral will enter the tank will be New Years Day.

Also picked up a new chalice off ZoaElite. The thing is amazing. If he hasn't named it yet I have the perfect name

Strobe ?

Devo named it the Blue Moon but that's when none of the pink had shown up so your welcome to rename it.
