Macro Rocks is having a sale!!!! EFF YESS!!! 40lbs pre cured rock with 40 lbs sand for 119 bucks...free shipping. So I'm ordering 2. 80lbs rock and 80lbs sand should give me a nice open scape (extra rock can go in the fuge or I'll trade to someone on njreefers.org for some coral or something) and 80lbs sand should give me just under a 2" sandbed...nice and shallow...wooooopa!

I didn't smack you, I simply High Fived your face.
I've got so much glue on my pants it looks like a Friday night gone horribly wrong.

pumps take up alot of space in the 20 gallon long...baffle-less sump it is! Plumbing is all dry fit, time to tear it all down and glue :S

Ordered 80lbs of rock and 80 lbs of sand...hooorah!

Next...ordering lights.

Looking good, that plumbing came out pretty clean Randy nice job! You're right on the sump though, it looks like a 7' tall man with size 6 shoe . Why not save the headache and find something a bit bigger for cheap, I know 40g breeders are less than $100.00

Everything there is pretty much donated, and we gotta keep the tank low budget as possible (for now) realistically, if I want I'll add a HOB fuge later, but for now, fugeless. Skimmer fits nicely hanging on the side...and if I decide to upgrade it later there's room for either in sump or HOB as well. All additives etc will have to be kept under the stand too, so gotta leave room for there...but! Plumbing is done and glued...will let it cure today/tonight and add water tomorrow... I'm sore as all hell right now and I've got so much glue on my pants it looks like a friday night gone horribly wrong.

I don't want to be the downer here Randi but you have to turn the tank around. Otherwise very clean job you're getting close now!
