Atxraider83 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Doing my first top to bottom build. So far I've mostly completed a stand except the cut out for cabinets and the doors. Return and drain kit from glassholes. I'm doing a simple 20 gallon long sump which will have one of the new icecap k130 skimmers. Refugium with sand rubble and chaeto. Will be running a reactor with probably carbon and if sterilizer off the manifold I made. Light in the fuge is one of the 80 watt pink leds off amazon. 1200 gph return dialed way down. I've been cooking some rock for about a month with shrimp and some bacteria additive but still need some more rock if anyone's got some for sale. I'm doing leak tests as we speak and it looks good. I'm hoping to go wet this weekend with rock and sand with something live in a few weeks. Not the fanciest but considering this is my first stab at doing any of this I'm fairly happy.

Atxraider83 Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Nice eye on that one. At that point I was trying to make the shape of something my wife was calling me for not cleaning up the sawdust in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
