Wow its been a month already since my last update. OK OK, its long overdue
This weekend was a busy one. And the day has finally come, the tank has saltwater in it!
slow and steady right now, ordered lights today for it. And still alot more things to do yet.
But hey, here are some teasers.
Here is the full tank. I want to take a second and point out the left side of the tank. It will have a cabinet built around it, and for sake of viewing, I didn't want to be able to see through the front and see inside the cabinet, but at the same time I want to be able to see through the cabinet into the tank (look for fish and such, fallen frags, ect.)
Solution, was static cling window film in 5 percent smoke. From the front, looks like a black wall, on the other side, dimmed tank. It worked out better than I could have imagined.
Here are updated pics of the sump, with the live rock chamber originally built to house rubble. And the mangrove lagoon that will house 40 or so mangroves. Also doubles as sand filtration, hopefully.
Here is a pic of the overflow bulkhead. This is a safety in the event of a sump overflow. As stated above in my thread, there is a drain line under the stand that is hooked into the sewer line in my house. This bulkhead is plumbed into that drain. This will prevent the sump from over filling, and drain excess water far far away from the floor, and out of the house.
