260g cube build

[speedstar]

Tank is filling slowly with RO/DI right now, been on since friday night about half full.

Cranked up the pressure from 40 t0 60 making water abit faster and about full this weekend it should be fully plumbed to system and circulating.

I actually think her scrap-booking hobby cost more than my tank!

The new skimmer is working well, the only problem is that i believe the skimmer chamber is too small on startup you need to ease into the air or it will displace the water too quickly and overflow. This is a problem in the event of a power outage. My temp fix i have is that i moved it to a feed pump from being gravity fed. Now if the power fails the skimmer will back siphon down abit through the feed pump. It really is alot of pump for the size of the skimmer. It is doing a better job than anything i've owned in the past.

Tank is fully plumbed into old system and is flowing water, still need to get the lighting squared away then i'll be all set to move some rock and livestock.

I have a wild fiji order comming this week hopefully there will be some nice pieces in the cases.

Work schedule is brutal so probably not gonna be much progress till the weekend.

i think the best schooling fish are anthias...they are a little expensive but they really bring out a nice tank
