There is still alot to be done but what I want to do is get all my plumbing glued and I want to run water in the aquarium to get it cleaned out. I wont have my canopy done for a while but what I am going to do is when I am satisfied that the plumbing is ok I will add salt to the water then put my rock in along with the sand and let it run for a while without lights to let things cycle for a bit.
