New tank and fishroom setup...

[Yinzer]

I used I" w/ 45 degree angles up and down no 90 degree. I am starting with a 1900gph waterfall pump I got at tractor supply when I got my Stock tub. If its too much I will probably use my current one which is 1200gph but I have ball valves I can use too. I also put a check valve running from pump in case power goes out. Here is a pic of just the sump in the water to clear it up before I put the slimmer in the bucket. Getting my chaeto tomorrow.

Looking good. I have been considering a cube and looking forward to seeing it set up and running.

I looked at tractor supply pumps a while back. I think thy have a stainless shaft not a ceramic and will start to rust. They may be different now but keep an eye on it.

lets see some photos when you ge a chance. How do you like the black sand?

 

[Yinzer]

It hasn't arrived and now I am thinking possibly a bare bottom. Kinda looks cool now.

Put mangroves in the fuge yesterday.

The black sand looks good. Already my corals are showing better color. The water is still a little cloudy from adjusting the rocks.

Is that a snowflake eel in the back of pic number 3? Just curious lol cuz thats kinda what it looks like in the pic.

 

[Yinzer]

No, it's my engineer goby. I bought him as an inch long black fish with white horizontal stripes. Then he disappeared for 4 months and I forgot about him until I started moving the rocks and he scared the hell out of me because he turned into a 6" black n yellow eel-like thing. He is awesome.

cool!

that is a cool looking fish!

I added some bottles to my tank which will look great once it's done cycling.

 

[krshlln300]

why bottles?

 

[Yinzer]

I saw a tank once that had old bottles mixed in with the LR and had coralline and corals growing on and out of them, I thought it was a clever idea. I'm putting my own Pittsburgh twist on it. Just ignore the cycling hair algae and imagine once the coralline comes back.
