Well guys, guess what....
It's in and full of water, rocks, and a few fish.
It still needs to be plumbed into the sump there's a couple connections to make but those should be pretty easy.
Next I'll need to do coverings so it looks more built in.

Well anyway I'm happy with it, thanks for all the help and suggestions offered!!

Whoa! That looks really good! I really like the rock scape. Well done!

Need more pictures! What fish did you add?

Dsekula · 04/15/2019, 08:11 AM

Thanks!!
Just a few that made qt so far. 2occys, 3clown gobies, Midas blenny, 3 decorated goby, Barnacle blenny, Sharknose goby, 2 pj cardinals, azure damsel.

There's a lot of fish in there, it's just that their mostly small and rock dwellers. I moved the internal sponge filter from a with the fish and the rocks have been cycled for about four months. Just before anyone questions me adding 14 fish

Just a couple pics now that everything is settled. Most of my fish are tiny so you can't even see them in the full shot but I assure you that their in there.

Moving day!!
Mapped my par last night and started moving everything today, once the nems are relatively settled I'll start moving the sps and others that can't take a sting so well.Attachment 401092 IMG_20190420_120722.jpg Attachment 401094 IMG_20190420_120700.jpg IMG_20190420_120636.jpg IMG_20190420_115627.jpg

If anyone's geeky like me and interested, here's the par map at "high noon" lights ramp up and down so this is the reading for the roughly 15 min Apex each day.IMG_20190420_123010.jpg

Well today I finished painting the cover to make the tank look like it's built an and made of barn wood.

The rest will be stocking and letting everything grow.
