    004.JPG 007.JPG OK! Everything is up and running and NO problems yet :rolleyes: Water is still clearing and I have 2 live rocks to add in the back. They're in use in the barrels right now. And the seasoning begins :p Hope these pics work.

    Well, so much for "trash Can" holding :( Lost two friends last night, yellow tang from one can and a blue tang from the other.
    Guess I'll do a drip transfer for the few remaining :cry:

    Thanks :oops: The tank was built to fit in a closet opening and only sticks out 3 inches from the wall :cool: I'll add some pictures of the finished sump area. Because it fits so tight in the closet everything has to be in the stand :eek: I have the refugium hanging on the front side of the sump so I can control it's flow better. :cool:

    Thank You! :p After loosing my two tangs I decided to prevent further loses and drip acclimated everything else in smaller buckets then placed them in their new home :D The cycle has been very mild and fast moving. Used Vinny's secret MicroBacter7 too. ;) Now I'm testing every 2 days, everything is testing good, just need to keep a close watch on phosphates, a little high but dropping. :)
