Got word this morning that tank was going to be delivered today. I was able to put the cabinet together very simple and the instructions were simple to follow along. Cabinet is very well constructed. The sump is also very nice and the tank is beautiful. Everything arrived well packed and no damage anywhere in the boxes. Very excited to get the tank set up and get it running. Taking my time so no rush want to get everything set up right the first time.

Woohoo! Looking good, let me know how that skimmer is, my curve 5 elite is "broken in" but now not producing enough foam :/

Probably since is a new tank there's not enough nutrients in there. Give it time for your tank to have a more of a bio load.

I actually woke up this morning and checked it and it's now probably as good as it'll get until I do add more fish, it's about an inch past the bottom of the collection cup so riiiiight at that line for wet/dry skimmate. I'm hoping to find a midas blenny and I think that the next fish will be a pygmy hawkfish, that should be enough for a tank this size.

Everything is looking killer so far. Can’t wait to see it wet.

Thanks man yeah me to.

Any idea on when you're going to get it filled? I'm super excited to see what you do with it and you'll have to give feedback on that Klir. I'm running the mesh sock they send with the tank and running carbon in it to help with the water quality, debating using a filter cup or fleece though. I bought the opaque white RedSea filter cup and realized it's for their filter sock holders so it's a tad misfit in the 4" holder WB uses.

I've ordered the last few pieces of equipment today. Looking at some time in the next few weeks to have everything installed and them water time. Filter cup should do just fine anything so you wont have to clean filter socks lol. First time using the Klir hopefully it works as advertise.

She’s wet. (That’s what she said ) Fresh water leak test had a small leak on the middle drain but was able to tighten and the leak stopped. Gonna leave it running for a day or two to make sure there aren’t any more leaks. Looking at Friday as the day to drain and add salt water. I also added two motion activated led lights to the cabin.

 

[Fishy5oh]

Nice! So exciting! I'm surprised how patient you were, I got mine wet the same day it got delivered.
