    So at long last the new tank has water, salt, sand and rocks in it.

    Width - 36
    Length - 72
    Height - 32

    Total Size 360 Gallons

    Sump

    Width - 36
    Length - 65
    Height - 15

    Total Size 150 Gallons

    I am now cycling for 4 weeks, I started the tank with 45 Gallons old salt water, 5Lbs old live sand, 20 Lbs live rock (i also popped the sand and dead rock in too, I have another 150 Lbs live rock in my other tank, seeding for the last 4 months.

    I am praying it is ready after 4 weeks, I have 2xproton32s going above it.
