Yay, you definitely needed a bigger tank. Nice job so far. Have fun with it.

Well I chickened out and painted the stand black... then siliconed the overflow, buckheads and the baffles in the sump.

DISASTER when I went to do the sump baffles though.. the silicone tube kind of burst a little and instead of doing the sensible thing and throwing it in the garbage and buying another one i figured i could make it work... and maybe i did but it looks freaking terrible. Whatever sumps arent supposed to be pretty right???

With any luck i will doing the plumbing in the next couple of days and be adding water by the end of the week.

I added some pics to the link above.

Well.... its never really done I guess but teh fish and corals are moved over... I am just waiting for the cement to dry on a limiter for my WAY too powerful sump pump and I need to buy a new closed loop pump cause it isnt powerful enough.. .

Still I am really happy with the results... dont mind the heaters they are going in the sump as soon as the plumbing is done.

Some update pics. I need to install the stronger recirc pump in the main tank adn i need to get a couple pep shrimps or a berghia to trim the aiptasia down. Other than that everything is going well. There are ridiculous amounts of pods in the tank even during the day and the snails have started breeding! There are little sponges popping up all over too they are odd looking like little pinecones.











Thanks,
Ken
