Burning that midnight oil? Lol
Preliminary rock scaping. Will tweak as I put it into the tank.

Looks good but it feels like I seen that look 1,000 of times. I was expecting something different from you lol. Just joking it looks good man.
All filled and ready to go. Waiting till tomorrow to start the pumps. Don't feel like having to adjust stuff back and forth tonight [emoji42]
It came out a little different in the tank. I typically never epoxy my rocks due to I like having the ability to move them if I need to.

Yeah I like to have the that freedom also of moving them around. Especially in the beginning you are always looking at it and see another way to aquascape. But in my my that little guys is doing all the moving for me .lol

The tank has been running for last 24 hours. I absolutely love Red Seas design. Their overflow is virtually silent. It is a bit of a pain to get it dialed in but once you do it's great! So far so good. The ATO setup they have is a bit meh but should work. Still fiddling with that one.

And we are now official! Everything is running getting ready to cycle. Gonna get a small piece of live rock and then in goes the piece of frozen salmon fillet.
I cycle my tanks with frozen salmon fillet....
I know.....
PS. The protein skimmer sits on a acrylic base which I am thinking of attaching some sort of rubber to because it's kind of slippery and annoys me. Any ideas?

You can get this stuff at Lowes, HD, or Autozone for $2-3 a sheet. Just ask for rubber gasket material. Ive used 2 sheets under a pump to good effect. You can find ones in the big box stores that are rated for drinking water if you're paranoid about any type of chemical leeching (I just used the regular stuff and have had no concerns in over a year).

Which stores would have ones rated for drinking water? What would I be looking for?
