Here it is rocks in the water waiting for the silicone to dry on the sump and I'll start cycling the rock. View attachment 301756

Looking good, man. Just remember, you're way ahead of all of us who haven't started, or didn't get water in the tank yet!

That looks good. Remind me what kind of lights you were planning on installing?

BTW, if you haven't visited Fishtopia in NKC, you should. Decent prices and selection for a LFS.

Well my ammonia seems to be climbing. I threw a couple piece of rock into my 60g to see if it will seed. I was thinking it would be ready to go by now. Owell just need to wait a bit longer

I thought you might still experience a cycle. Patience is key.

You are right. I guess I'm in no real hurry. I want it done right. I still want to get over to Parkville and see your tank. I was in your neighborhood this morning working on a lawn clean up.

Got my brine shrimp hatchery in the mail today thought i would give it a shot. This will be used to keep my Mandy alive while the tank matures.
