reefnfun Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 I am installing a new tank in our living room. I needed to remodel it before I pick up the new tank from Jeremy. I could not find my shop lights. Oh yeah not a problem, 2 x 400w MH who needs a shop light anyways. The tank is going where the plumbing is sticking up through the floor. Take care, Mike 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Pete's that stain is called worn navy. It was a leap of faith, I like how it turned out. I planned to paint it if the stain didn't work.

reefnfun Posted June 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 This is a 75 gallon I have in the basement I tied it into my system. My new 240 is still sitting in the back of my pickup. I'll have enough guys over this weekend to get it in the house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefnfun Posted June 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 This is my sump. It is a 100 gallon Rubbermaid farm tub. I can use it if I have a major catastrophic failure in my display tank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy with how it turned out. So far everything is doing what it is supposed to. I'll let it run a couple more days and if everything is good I'll add the salt.

reefnfun Posted June 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 I have a question. I tested with fresh RO water for a week. The system is running perfectly. I added the salt Last night. All of my rock was dry. How long do I have to wait to introduce live rock? Things have changed since I did this before. What is the best way live rock or pods from algae barn? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
