Hard to say. I would probably make sure the tank is ready to go by processing an ammonia source before tossing my fish in. Or to play it safe run some bottle bacteria like Dr Tim's or turbostart 9000 and toss an ammonia alert badge in the tank when you add the fish. I know from experience the...

Looking good! Just curious are you adding an ammonia source and testing parameters to see if the live rock is doing its job? Great job so far though, it gives me some motivation.

Any update?

I like it. This is pretty exciting to see it come together.

I'm leaning towards this setup but am undecided still.

I ordered 2 of the 40lb caribsea special grade dry sand off Amazon. $20 per bag

I have the neptune gro as well and i have it about 1 inch from the water. It's low powered so it needs to be real close to the water to work as designed. She can get splashed with water with no issues. I would suggest if possible to try moving the gro down closer to the water level and see if...

Thanks! I was going to repurpose my current sump but I decided to spoil myself and start fresh. It'll make the transfer that much easier having the sump plumbed in place.

Sold! Thanks for the suggestions. Flipper it is.

Very nice setup, we'll done. How is the macro growing?

I'm considering running 2 smaller return pumps rather than 1 large pump. I'm thinking I can run 1 dedicated through my uv sterilizer that I can adjust flow depending on my needs for the uv. Then the 2nd pump I'll run a manifold off of for if I decide to add any other equipment. Also considering...

Do you have a picture of that setup? I'd like to see how you have it setup.

Your live rock for the new tank, is that cured already?

Yes that's what I use now as well. I change it every weekend on water change day. Much easier and quicker than dealing with cleaning socks.

Glad to hear they're doing well. The 180 was just too big for me, I found a 120 that I started a build thread for. So far turning into a nice upgrade.

I forgot you grabbed the candy canes, how they looking and holding up in your tank?

Ordered some blue 4 inch filter cups and I'll be ditching the 3 4 inch filter socks the sump came with if anybody is in need.

Lol fair enough, I only ask because I'm transferring my current live rock to my 120 and I didn't plan on going taller.

Pretty excited to see the aquascape when your done. Do you know how tall you plan to make the scape?

Thanks! They do an excellent job with these sumps.
