well a lot of progress happened in the last few days :thumbsup: .... well i did adjust my sump to fit the skimmer and added abaft to act as a bubble trap as well....
some pics of progress
I added my sand and two lovely fishes first
after that i started mixing my instant ocean reef crystals
well the mix did not go so well it was a lot of water and i dumped lots of salt and the result was milky water :(
I added non-salted water to dilute the salt and started the sump for the first time i also added 2 temp mechanical filters to help reduce the cloudiness.. a couple of hours and this was the result
i added my new skimmer to the custom stand i've made and started it up
then i installed the to MP40 to create flow and move debris on the tank
and then i installed 2 media reactor one for Carbon and another one for GFO but i still need to work on the hoses
I am expecting my live rock to arrive tomorrow after that i hope that i could complete the wood work and electrical and start using my apex .... then we wait for the cycle to finish (i already added Dr.Tims nitrifying bacteria but i will give it 2 weeks before adding the CUC)
