![]() Thanks the only thing I would change on both my sump and main display if I was doing it again would be to make them wider front to back. The heights are awesome but a few more inches in the front would allow me to lay some bigger rocks down allowing for more coral

![]() Well today I am so incredible frustrated with this tank. I noticed that one of my drain lines has had a large build up of salt creep lately and I thought nothing much of it. Until today when I came home and saw that the wood my tank is sitting on is starting to turn white...
I think the bulk head itself is cracked and has a very very slow leak just enough to make a trickle of water creep out down the pipe and along the bottom of the tank between the glass and the wood. Now being one of my first tank builds I though it would be smart to cut a hole just big enough for the bulkheads to fit through when I placed the tank...well this has sure come around to bite me in the backside. I think im going to have to find a way to remove a section of the wood with a dremel tool then cut out the bulk head (because of course I had to glue it in!) and replace with a new one...UGH. Just dont have the time for this now with a new born...larger tank looks great but so many headaches it seems.

![]() Sorry to hear that! Bulkhead leaks suck! I have had to deal with that problem - went away for a weekend come back to a bulkhead leak and water everywhere.
I like your tank though! I bought similar lights to yours - I assume you got them straight from China as well? 140 dollars per 55 led fixture is a win in my books.- I can deal with not being able to control them with an aquarium controller

![]() Actually bought my LEDS through Reef Supply Canada for 180$ per unit (I think evergrow just recently price dropped these units after I got mine)
I love them I have them set to 50% blue 50% white and my corals are doing fantastic. Some of the SPS I have were browned out from previous tanks and have now returned to there original colours and even better extension now. Still have to fix the bulkhead I just dont have the time to do it but I am noticing it slowed down once the salt creep "sealed" it.

![]() Ah I didn't see any on there when I was buying however I just checked evergrow is just like GrowsSunLight basically - still right out of China haha. They can make it so much more cost effective than anyone else.

![]() Lights were listed as Evergrow D120's It was the same price to have them direct from China or from Nick at reefsupply so I ended up going with Nick for the warranty.
