I may bolt it to the wall though ...

i thought about it and no. if it really bothers me ill crank the telepost up a 1/8 of an inch in the basement down the road since thats where its unlevel . the trim of the hood will hide the evidence anyways.

and ps to all the readers yes the rock wall does float a bit lol but my return plumbing is holing it down 60 pounds of rock and althat foam its quite boyant lol

salinity 1.026
sand in .. live sand from 90 added to seed.. sand cloud dispersed...tomorow give skimmer a good cleaning and start rockscaping if i get a chance so far it lookstobe a busy workday which is good work has been a bit dry.

[lockrookie]

been busy the last 3 days and decided to put prodibio to the test with the start up kit ive added the live rock done to rock scaping not fond of the left side but when i find the right pieces ill fix it. for now the rockscape is functional. did a 50 percent water swap with the 90g added prodibio startup waited 24 hours instead of the recomended 12. and added my fish. so now i will be testing daily twice a day to watch for problems. with water changes ready just in case.

on a side note be very careful not to get spiked from your regal hand when numb for an hour.. learn something new every day but at least i can now dismantle the 90 after i catch the last couple of fish.

anywho here it is as it is at this moment hood will come soon as i figure out how tobuid it to work for me

lol seems like it it helps when you use old tank water and new water with precured rock im hoping the prodibio helps with any small spike to themits like a huge water change but look moreo swim room andcaves lol.. the trigger was teh first to investigate everything. but i did the same thing on my 50 with no issues whatsoever

i just wish my skimmer would set up right and stop spewing micro bubbles. but i cleaned the bajessesout of it so it needs to set in again...a few days it should be fine.

scaped background came out really nice!

Is that a hydnophora and is that trigger reef safe?
