I got most of the water in my tank today, I just have some additional water needed in the sump. I was able to turn on the return pump but the water level is still not where I want it.

I decided to buy some Aquavitro Seed to help speed up the cycle and placed what was called for in both my QT and my display. To start the cycle I added a raw shrimp from the grocery store in my sump and in the QT. I plan to remove them both in 3 days.

I also picked up a small piece of live rock while at the LFS to help seed the tank with different organisms. This piece was practically fully in encrusted with coralline.

Lastly I got my heater and my Vortech MP10w mounted inside my stand above the sump.
