    120 gallon upgrade

    Yeah man Saltwater aquarium.com has the same Trigger sumps cheaper than anyone and they offer free shipping that’s where I got mine for a good deal. You got a killer deal on your sump. Open box is fine as long as they guarantee it to not leak. Who cares about a little blemish if any for a sump...

    That’s odd I swear mine are round. Why would they do that?

    So there are signs of life. I added about 25 micro brittle stars last week and this guy is scouring the rock like he’s in the desert. Soon enough there will be more life. One small step at a time.

    I agree. I love putting it all together and watching an idea come to reality. I enjoy the planning stage. I remember when I was younger and really into drag racing. I loved getting my car ready for race day. I also enjoyed working on my car and making my engine bay as clean as I could with the...

    Just dumped a bottle of Biro Spira in tank. Didn’t realize I had a bottle of it in my stash. May buy one more bottle since it only treats 75 gallons or should I be good?

    Well here is the ammonia reason using API. I know they give off false readings but this is what I get with other tanks that are 0.

    Also took care of the foaming problem. Never had a DC skimmer before it was turned all the way up. Since turning that down it’s good to go

    Yes I rushed to get it going before work. Now it’s good to go has a full siphon and not that noisy anymore. I know it’s going to make a little more noise than normal because I plan on setting up the pump through my Neptune and have it run a few different programs which will most likely cause it...

    Copy that. I know I threw 2 bottles of Dr Tims one amd only in the brute when I stored rock last year. Not sure if that survived though over the year since I didn’t do anything else to the rock but leave it in saltwater.

    Need quick response before gluing rock with foam

    I used the white loctite foam. It worked out great. After spraying I put special grade Caribsea on and now it looks like part of the rock. It totally secured my structure in places where the rocks were not so stable, when it expands it creates a cradle.

    So water is in tank is running and skimmer is foaming! Hopefully that stops soon Going to slowly start transferring Neptune stuff from 40 to this tank. Just trying to get all other misc stuff in order before I start. Then I have to tear down my AIO tank and put fish in here.

    I’m at work until 10. Remainder of tank filled this morning. No leaks at least from what i saw before leaving for work. I’ll know more when I get home. As far as filter it is loud as hell. Needs adjusting but I know after I mess with it I should be able to silence it. Using the herbie style...

    Need quick response before gluing rock with foam

    Yeah that’s always a nice touch. I’ve been trying to find a place that sells it. Algaebarn never carries it.

    Need quick response before gluing rock with foam

    I left a lot of center space if I choose to isolate something. But I can’t wait for this to be done so I can put my ACAN colonies in. They are crammed in my 40 right now

    Need quick response before gluing rock with foam

    Looking for pros and cons with this aqua scape I left the room around the whole tank for flow there’s enough coverage even with a center brace where there will be no shadowing what are you guys think should I change anything. This is all live rock so I don’t want to remain dry too long
