Thanks should be lots of sand and rocks soon. Tank was bought from Terry at Saltys. Awesome tank. I need to get back over there and see what other awesome goodies I can find. It’s also right next to the Alamo Harley Davidson which is a plus for me.

Cleaning a monster sump phew pics

Sump cleaned and back in the stand. I have a dct12000 pump which is way more powerful then this setup needs but it will work on the low setting. Pic

Finally have a Monday and Tuesday off. I should be able to get the plumbing done and start running freshwater.

Little ride to Lowe’s between storms to pickup plumbing supplies

3 days of ghost feeding. Trying to start a cycle

Waiting for tank to cycle. Lots of new dry rock. Trying to upload pics

Cycle has been really good. I went through shrimp, ghost feeding, and a bottle of Tim’s Ammonia and the bacteria has consumed the ammonia. Now ready to do a sw change to remove the nitrates and add some chromis.
