CountryBoy72's 110G SW Tank Build.

if you're adding live rock after the tank's full and the salt is mixed in then do it right in the tank for sure.

Needed more room, so i ripped the floor of the stand out. I laid the 2x6's flat an screwed the plywood back down. Lined the compartment with feltex, should I have any spills It will contain them. That 3 1/2" 's made a world of difference under there. I can now get the skimmer cup out an do any maintenance alot easier. Starting to fill with RO water now :P.

Changed my return pumps plumbing. I plumbed it through a bulkhead fittting, an drilled the last chamber of my new acrylic sump. Filled the tank with water. Put in the two heaters, a powerhead an turned on the skimmer. I also added my salt. I will test for salinity(adjust it accordingly) and then add some LR to seed the dry rock. I will also add two raw shrimp to get the whole cycling thing started.

Temp- 79.9

Ammonia .6

Going to get some LR(45lbs) an put it in the tank/sump. Added 75 lbs of reef sand too. Anything else I need to do ?

Picked up a 30G tank for water changes an to use as a QT tank yesterday. Sits right next to the DT and should make things a little easier.

Still Waiting LOL. It's been a couple of weeks an just waiting for the diatom bloom. Then I will test my water params, turn on my skimmer an add the CUC. The only thing I am watching right now is temp and Salinity.
