Amazing build brother! Those really are great dimensions. Can't wait to see it rocking and rolling.

And finally... WATER!
I have added the shrimp to get the cycle started as well as putting a large piece of live rock in the sump. Hopefully the cycle won't take too long!

Plays fine on Youtube.

Is the water circulation really that loud? Maybe there's a cover off or a door open. If I had to listen to that for too long I'd be running to the...

It's not loud at all. For some reason the phone mic just amplified it. For the most part the tank is near silent. The loudest thing in the system is the fan for the hood.

Yes, that's why I asked. Seemed unusual. Thx

So after a few weeks of cycling I have decided to go back to using Prodibio on the system. Nothing crazy, just the basics. My old 65 was a Prodibio tank and it was very successful, just too small.
I couldn't find the pro sizes of the Start product so... 60 vials later.
