Ok, got the tank mostly set up. Here's a few pics...





The chiller will be connected soon, I just need to figure out if it needs additional shelter (or if the awning will protect it).



Here's its guts.



2 250w MH's and 2 65w actinics. The 2 cooling fans are visible as well.

Today, levels are unchanged. Overflow was really noisy, so I pulled out the bio-balls and standpipe, and replaced witha Durso modified standpipe. Overflow is much quieter, but pumps (in sump) hum loudly.

Placed some foam underneath the pumps...now even quieter. Levels mostly unchanged, although Nitrate did rise to 5.0

Cycling complete. NH3 and nitrite are zero. Diatom bloom now day 5. HA now day 3 (PO4=.1). Decided to add "cleaner crew" today. Added 10 turbo snails, 10 astraea snails, and 10 nassarius snails, also 3 red leg hermits, a sally lightfoot crab and a lawnmower blennie. They are all chomping away on the algae (except the nassarius, of coarse).
