Default My tank progress - new to 1 month old

I thought I would try posting some pics. I figured I would go ahead and post some of my new tank pics. If anyone has any comments or suggestions feel free to let me know.

Tank... 2 days old


Now at one month.. w/ new PC lighting. Extra PH's and now at 60lbs of LR


Tank showing DIY stand, and what will be a 29 gallon refugium, and a DIY O'flow (just have it hanging on the refugium at the time).


I now have the refugium circulating water (testing everything well).....I will try to post some more pics when Its fully set up. Hope it is looking alright.

Nice pics...Wondering how you stacked you rock up...Did you glue your rock together? Look forward to more pics as your tank develops.

No. I haven't been able to get a RO/DI unit yet. Hope to within the next few months. Still making frequent trips to walmart for distilled water.
As far as stacking the rock goes, I was lucky enough to find pieces that fit together real well.

Gluing rock togther is a really good rule of thumb if you are going very high or stacking rock on top of each other because it can fall if not glued when your fish start playing or messing with the rock. falling rock = bad for livestock.
