H&H tank build

[HV1990]

So my wife's tank was getting a little to small for her. Being 18x18x20 she started to want bigger fish and different corals. So I thought what better than to get her a bigger tank. We are going with a visio tank that John at Your Reef got me. So onto the pics.

Tank has water and is now starting day one of its cycle.... I hate this part since I am constantly checking now for leaks for the next few days.

You doing any bacteria adds to speed it up or the old fashion raw shrimp technique?
