So over the weekend the wife and I drove up 4 hours from our home in Ohio to pick the tank up in Michigan. I have built the stand myself over a few days. I got her filled with water today after a few trips to my LFS. (don't own a RODI system yet). Here are a couple of pictures to start out. I'm going going with the Jebao DCP-4000 return pump a Nero 5 and a Hydor 1950 gph pump for flow. I will be running an AI Prime 16 HD for lighting.
I'm gonna start this tank with reef crystals this time instead of one of the big names (one because had a buddy give me an almost full bucket of it) I plan to use live rock and Dr Tim's to cycle the tank but also a couple of weeks before I add fish or anything into the tank. This will be my tried time using Dr. Tim's and I have had great success with it. I will update later.
