Params are stable,
nitrates and trites both 0
ammonia 0
phos 0
ca 400
alk 9dkh
Salinity 1.0245
temp 77 currently trying to get it up to 78-79
not much has changed at this point, I cleaned my skimmer cup today and am amazed at what I pulled out of the water thus far. can't believe I didnt have one before. I am still waiting for the water to get a bit more polished, but I may have to add a sock for that. all my LR is in the sump, and I have made a cage for Chaeto to sit in once I get some. not seeing any pod growth yet, but it will happen lol. here is a pic of the tank today. and the water is a bit more clear. apparently there was a cleaner shrimp in the LR I bought cause this morning there was a rotted carcass in the tank lol. did a quick water change to get the ammonia back to 0

That does look clearer
Are you still working on adjusting the overflow height?
I ask because I haven't decided how I'll build my Herbie

Not the overflow height no. The drain pipe is a durso standpipe it just needs a cap to slow the drain. I will do that this weekend too if I can find a cap. Greg(grizz) turned me to the durso, its really quiet. I would look into one if its an option for you. Really easy to build even I pulled it off

Hebries are a lot simpler then a Durso, main drain is 1/3 of the height of the later level with a gate valve & emergency drain is usually just above the water level.

Got a couple new ric's from Steve this weekend I'll try to post some eye candy pics tomorrow before the move.

Thanks Greg. That's about what I figured too but until I get some water in it keeps eating at me how it'll end up
