Woo Hoo!
So, the tank is up and running, no leaks or cracks!
I have mostly base rock. I had issues with buying lots of LR off Craigslist last time that put lots of pests in my tank, I’m not going to risk it this time. Unfortunately, this will delay the time that I will add anything alive for about a month or two (I've read 60 - 90 days to seed baserock, but a year for it to fully mature) I bought about five pounds of LR that I’m using to seed.
The following are pictures! :mrgreen:
Note: that pump in the middle of the tank is just there to keep water moving around, I've read better flow = faster seeding, but who knows. Also, the lights are only on to take photos with, I've been leaving them off since all I’m doing is cycling/seeding. Unless someone tells me that leaving lights on as normal will seed faster I'll probably keep them off.
