Re: oppinions and advice needed
I'd put the sand in first, then gently pour the water on top.

Re: oppinions and advice needed
I found it easier to mix the water in the tank then add sand also. I think you will have more cloudy water this way, but that will clear up over night as I'm sure you know.

Re: oppinions and advice needed
No,dont have room for a sump,not right now any way.I will most likly end up setting up a sump for it.But that'll be later on in late summer when I can count on getting plenty of over time.
Im hoping my light and skimmer gets here by thursday. Got 35lbs of base rock setting here all ready to go and planning on ordering another 45 to 50lbs of live rock in the next 2 weeks.Im gonna use the live rock to cycle it with. That is if the wife dont throw me and the tank both out of the house first. lol Current Aquarium(s) Description: 125gal SPS tank in the works Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: 2+ Other Intrests: Hunting,camping,fishing

Re: oppinions and advice needed
Sounds good. I hate ordering online because you got to wait for the shipping. LOL But you usually get a lot better deal online.

Re: oppinions and advice needed
Yep,I was gonna get my stuff from LFS here,but they wouldnt even talk about t5 lights.and their CSS 120 was a little over double the price from online. Not to mention 200 bucks for 45lbs of live rock compared to 12.99 a pound local.

Re: oppinions and advice needed
Yeah, some things you can't beat getting online. I prefer to get my animals from the LFS though, even if they charge twice as much. That way I can watch them and know that they look healthy. I've gotten some clean up crews online and one time half the order came dead
 . I didn't complain, I didn't think it was worth the hassle (even though they had a guarantee), I just figured it was a lesson learned to not get animals online anymore. And Yote, if your wife can throw you and your tank out of your house, she must be an awfully buff lady.

Re: oppinions and advice needed
Ya I would be ordering online to save that kind of money. I like supporting my lfs but sometimes there just too high.

Re: oppinions and advice needed
I try not to buy dry goods or equipment from my LFS. Sometimes they are double to quadruple the price than online.
