New Tank

[jhnrb]

Congrats on your new project. looks great. I notice the electrical under the cabinet is sort of all just laying there. make sure you provide a drip loop to each plug and mount your strip on the back wall. so if any water spills or gets on the electrical cable it will go down and drip off on the floor or bottom of cabinet and not run into the strip or wall outlet. keep us posted. I like the pic where youre wiping youre brow. this hobby is hard work. Great project. more pics as you can. looking good.

I am sooo glad I went with a sump, I love not seeing all of the equipment in the main tank. I seriously just stare at the tank and there isn't any fish in it. I can't wait until I can put them back in the tank. I feel sorry for them, they went from a 55 to a 10gallon holding tank. I checked my parameters tonight. PH 7.9 (little low?) Ammonia .5, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 5. As the ammonia goes down, will my Nitrite and Nitrate go up? I am assuming it is going through a mini cylce. It is all new sand but we did use two cups of my old sand as well as all of the water from my old tank.

And JHNRB, I know that I needed to have a drip loop, that pic was still in the construction process, but thanks for looking out for me

This will basically be a pictorial thread as I make progress.

Here are some updated pics. I have about 20 more pounds of live rock that is in the 10 gallon holding tank that will be added when I can add my fish.

Oh,I remember the days when I set up a 75gal on the third floor of my apartment.I thought my friends were gonna kill me by the end of the day.
Good luck.
