Well, Been a while but I finally got LR and sand in the tank. Just put in today. Closed loop is running, seems OK flow, Not heavy for corals but should be plenty adequate. Pentair 3000 on closed loop, pump is in the Overflow so 0' head and a Mag 350 fro the sump return.

My camera has taken a dump last week, the lens wont come out. I'll get some pics as soon as I can. 40 Lbs Tonga LR. 3 pcs $238 LOL. Think I will need more tho. Not sure how I will aquascape it yet, Might get some Fiji or Vanatu to finish it off. We;ll see when the water clears up

OK, Heres some updated pics. Been along time coming Thats for sure. My camera's LCD screen went on the fritz, so I cant see what settings I have it set on. Can only point and shoot, hoping they turn out.

Thx, but clean, well...... Thats after 36 hrs with a towel over tank to rid Cyano. Was getting real bad. Watching my feedings now. Have some pellet food, so should be able to minimize waste and excess nutrient's.

Looks like a good start. Is that a Fluval 1/4 cylinder tank? How do you like it? I have the 90 gal. What are you doing for lighting?

Yup, its a Fluval 1/4 round. I dont miond it. Only 45g though. And I paid to much. But, using the canister for my FW tank, so its not that bad. Not much room under for sump and other stuff. Needs carefull planning, thats for sure.

For light, I have a 4 tube 24" TEKlight T5 w 2 actinic+ and 2 6000K Midday bulbs. May try 10,000K here, I dunno
