Stand freshly painted with new rubber foam

Test fitted sump with pump and skimmer. I want to put new background on the display and also a white background on the bottom. Then ill plumb it all up and run for a couple of weeks with tap water and maybe some vinegar or something to make sure it still holds water lol

What size is the new tank? Or are you resurrecting the old tank?

First RO fill. Will do several of these over the next couple of weeks to get the rock nice and clean and iron out any bugs in the system.

Thanks dude

I've decided to put a shallow sand bed in.

Now will keep soaking in RO till the weekend. Then drain and fill with fresh RODI ready for salt!

Originally I was going to use zero live rock but I think I will put a small price or two in the sump to kick things off. Let's hope I don't regret this....

Jay - great moves with this tank. First, painting the background black. This will conceal the large overflow, and really make the corals stand out. Also painting the bottom white. I thought you were doing white bare bottom (which is my favorite, but too much PITA to keep clean).... I assume it will be used to help bare spots created by the wave makers blend in. Definitely incorporating this in my Niji No Niwa build. Love the dims and scape!
