So I just ordered my light timer power strip thingy, as well as my test kits... That being said, I think I may just need a few more pounds of live sand to be where I want to be with it...
Once I get that from the lfs... I'll be ready to put water in my tank!! WOO!! The fill is gonna be long, and painful, as my water source is in another room from the tank, I will be filling it up in 7 gallon jugs hehe.
I will post pics once water is in the tank... I have my dry rock all scaped and sitting in an empty tank right now...
Here's what I have, if you have any suggestions on what else I may need before getting this thing wet, please let me know!
29g Display
20g sump, baffles in
Stand built
Canopy built, 4x 24w T5 bulbs in, CPU case fans in.
740gph return pump, should be 300gph after head.
internal C2C overflow leading to external beananimal drain
almost all plumbing done, just need to plumb return line.
Timed power strip
Koralia 2 powerhead, and Koralia Evo 750 powerhead.
200w Heater (will be getting small backup)
AquaC Urchin in sump Skimmer
Magnetic glass scraper.
Plumbing pipe cleaners.
Thermometer.
Refractometer.
RO/DI filter.
Salt Mix.
Test Kits.
25lbs dry rock, will buy 5-10lbs live oncer water is in.
20 live sand...(will buy a bit more to have if I want a little more in tank)
Thats What I have so far I think, unless im forgetting something I've already purchased... I also have some 7g food grade water storage containers, and a 30g brute tub to mix some salt water in for the intial fill up...
Can you guys think of anything else I'll need before I start this cycle up?
Thanks!
