Very nice and clean Jb.
About 45 lbs of live rock (and whatever might be hiding within) will be my first order of business. Want to get water in it tomorrow (need to figure out the best way to get about 50 gallons of RO/DI wanter.Wow lookin good,
what are the livestock plans,
I actually have a bottled water supplier I use for my water at work but I didn't think that type of water would be good enough, it says it is only "distilled"...here is a link to the supplier: Planet Earth Distilled Drinking Water - PlanetEarthWater.comFor cheap RO water look for local suppliers of bottled water for office use etc.
Awww...really?...thats a bummer, I was hoping I'd be able to keep a sand sifter :( guess I'll have to wait until I move up to a 120 some day :)Skip the sand sifting star in a tank that size -- it will starve to death. For reef safe starfish, your best bets are serpent and brittle stars. Don't add them too soon, as they are very sensitive to changes in water parameters (as are shrimp).
You know, I wondered about that...I do have it pointed up towards the surface if that counts for something...wanted to get a good cross sectional flow from the bottom corner of the tank to the top but I guess I'll have to get water in first to find the best arrangement...my goal today...WATER :)Looks good. You might want to move the powerhead to the surface for best results. This will encourage lots of gas exchange between air and water.
Thanks for the compliment...I have to give credit where credit is due...fatman was "the man" in helping me with the plumbing...I would not have thought to design it like it turned out without his recommendations.Your tank looks good.Great job on the plumbling.I like the way you made your returns to the tank.:Cheers:
