20101224 Here it is after adding salt and live sand. Both salt and live sand caused the water to look extremely cloudy but cleared up quite quickly. In this pic you can also see (sorta) that the glass on my custom cover hovers about 2mm above the water level as it goes into the overflow.


20101226 - Went out on boxing day and picked up 8 lbs of live rock on sale.



Wasnt really sure how to arrange these chunks so I just left them where I dropped them. I am open to suggestions.




20101228 - Another quick look at the overflow box. I had made a small cover in order to reduce the amount of evaporation from the overflow.


20101228 - set up complete with a "herbie" setup to reduce the noise coming from the overflow box. At this point I still needed to go out and find a 2" hole saw bit so that I could cut out a hole for the skimmer cup to poke out of the sump lid. I still need to get to organizing the wiring. Pump is a Maxijet 900 rated at 230 GPH.
