Thanks guys...didn't want to mess with the skimmer anyway. Still kicking up some dust from the sand as I'm fiddling with the tank.

Temp and salinity just about there, will add the flex pipe later today (too much vibration/noise) and probably start the cycle very soon. I plan on doing a lights out cycle. I saw a BRS video where they say a dark period on initial start up gives you a bio film on the rock that help prevent...

Thanks! Here is the latest: I've spent the last few hours balancing the system and what a PITA that was... I also had to fix my dry emergency...thank goodness I tested it...! Had to raise my return line outflows, I was siphoning too much water back to the sump. My return pump motor spills some...

Depressing...

I got the email just the other day. Of course it was the day I finished plumbing my tank...

Sand and fill...

Under the moons...:

Final answer, otherwise I'll go crazy...

Even with taking detailed pictures, once the rock was moved, it never found its way back home... First take...

Thinking this might be the one...

Some adjustments...

Working on the scape and making RO/DI...should be running by Monday...

I'm here! Come on over...

I'm plum tired...and fumed out too...hoping for no leaks and that my design actually works...

Sorry for your loss...any idea what happened? GLWS!

Awesome picture...its like a piece of art!
