The Tank is Finally Setup!!


I've been pretty busy this weekend!!

Friday night we got the new sump and it was finally right! (thank you Mike-Reefboydc for your help with it)

I spent Saturday and Sunday putting in the sand the water and salt....last night the plumbing and rocks went in, and today the lights went up.

The specs are-
150g acrylic tank
45g sump
ASM G3
Mag 24 for the return
4pc and 3 250 HQI's from hamilton

Here's the tank and lights (if you're wondering that's my dogs tail at the bottom of the pic)



Here's some shots of the rocks





Here's the sump




I think we're going to have to get a smaller return pump..the mag 24 is putting out a little too much, we also need to get stand pipes because it's pretty loud and the tank is next to my husbands desk...now I just have to wait for the cycle!!

Very exciting, but it was really getting frustrating to have this empty tank sitting in the livingroom for almost a month. I'm really happy everything is finally setup and ready to go.
