The rocks are already cycled. I got it from spotter so the rock never left the water. I kept the rocks in a 40g breeder and there is no bad smell etc. Sure there is some die off but not a lot like shipped rock. I am think instead of cycling the rocks in the breeder tank and get all the water...

Please educate me. I have live rocks being cured and plan to buy some live sand. Which one do I put down first in the DT? For example, should I put in Live Sand first then salt water, wait for dust to settle then put in live rock? Or cycle the rock then put in the sand?

Congrats on the build. Subscribed. Tropic Eden Mini/Reef Flakes* - how many lbs would you order for this size tank? Do you plan on putting in the sand while cycling the tank with rock?

I will take some if no one else has claimed yet. Thanks a lot. Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk 2

Hi, Would you be at the swap? Would you do $150? Just need a cheap light until I decide on the led. Thanks, Joe Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk 2

You can ziptie the tube to the pvc behind it. A more elegant solution is the following. Get a 1/2" length of 3/4" pvc. Cut along the length of the pvc so it becomes a clip you can clip to the rim of the tank. Then drill a hole in the pvc and thread the airline thru. Sent from my ADR6350 using...

Steve - nice to meet you and thanks a lot for the rocks. Good luck with the move.

How much would I need for a 75g standard? Just a small pile and a larger pile. Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk 2

How long can I keep the rocks alive without setting up a tank and how do I do that. I need some rock for my 75g but the tank will not be ready for a while. Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk 2

after talking to the gang at the meeting I changed design of the sump. it makes more sense now. I applied the silicon on one side and waited for it to dry then applied to the other side. The glass panels are perfect fit. Also rebuilt an old stand. Will need to get it painted.

What a great meeting! Thanks Mike and Nikki. Great meeting everyone!

I spent sometime last night to play with the rockwork. Is that enough rock? High enough? I will use the JB Weld epoxy to glue the rocks together. Tried yesterday now I am not too sure. It does stick the rock together but I am not sure how strong the bond is since the rocks are kind of...

Paul - I am in Holmdel. Not too far from Sayreville. Actual we go to the farmer's market on route 9 sometimes. I would love to see your setup. Thanks for the offer. Your overflow box looks very slick.

Paul - if you have the drain feed the fuge, aren't you going to have a lot of detritus? It's seem there are so many different opinions on fuge design. The stand plan is exactly what I have in mind. Your picture really help visualize it. Since the overflow is in the corner the green screw strip...

Not sure about the pro and con but I have seem it done both ways. Maybe with the return in the middle there is more flexibility on how the fuge is used? Here's a diagram: As for corals I have no idea. Is there much difference between Softie and SPS setups? Honest I probably can't tell the...

As the first step of this long process I will build the sump. The sump will be a 40g breeder divided in three sections. Sorry no pictures yet but I promise plenty to come. From the right to left are Drain and Skimmer section, return section and fuge. The fuge will be about 15" wide and 12" tall...

Hi folks, just introduced myself in another thread and now here's my build thread. I have never kept salt water before so the question is where do I start. After looking at countless posts on various forums I decided on a 75. Figure it's big enough to give me some chance of success in the...

Hi folks, My name is Joe after lurking a while finally decided to introduce myself. I have been keeping freshwater tanks for a few years now I want to try my hand at salt. Submitted my application for the club and looking forward to see you next weekend. I will post my build thread soon.
