Sorry for any spelling mistakes and such I have Dyslexia.

You find pics on second page.

Started a bit slow had to make a new stand I kind of over build things that way they don't break. I have been around fish as long as I can remember my parents use to build thier own tanks. As a teenager I had a FW tank of fancey guppies sold them to one of my brothers friends that had a pet store. I kept FW fish all along untill I discovered Saltwater fish back in the early 1990's kept them for a few years untill I moved out and got divorsed. then had FW again moved a couple of BC to Alberta and them to Winnipeg Manitoba where I grow up. Now I am back In BC in Kamloops, starting up a SW tank was planning on starting a couple of weeks earlier but wanted a stand that met my streinght standards. The stand is larger than the tank that is on it this is for an upgrade that my wife has already put into my head.
So now the tank is a used one that I stripped all the old silicone off of and resiliconed not a perfict job but a nice one. I then added water and salt and Cycle let stand for a day and added drysand and Cycle, a day latter added some live sand and Cycle It has now been 5 days and Cycle additions have stopped with day 4 addition of Cycle, going down to Vancouver and I think I can add a bit of Live rock to the tank seems the tank is going to Cycle any ways My wife keeps asking when are you going to add a couple of fish and I keep telling her it will be a month or more. My water peramiters are fine there is not much in the tank for them to take off in a bad direction yet. I don't have my sump in yet looking for a over flow my get one in Vancouver this weekend. My protine skimmer is down in Vancouver I can't get it till next weekend.forgot to mention I had to install a GFI outlet and get a APC power fail backup unit. I have my filters and heater pluged into it good for 1 hours or more depending in power useage once I have sump and PS up and running then it should last a little bit longer. I need to build a hanging light ficture have everything needed right now all I have a couple of 30" hoods set up as the Live sand only needs a little light for a couple of hours for the first few days after that they will be on a timer. by the end of november I should have my custom hanging hood built and working. So there you go I'll try and take a couple of pics and post them for you guys. I am useing IO as that is what I had back in the 1990's, by the way I had a nano tank back then when everyone said you could not do it.
