So for the quiet one pump has not lived up to its name lol. It's pretty damn loud haha. I'm gonna sway away from carbonate doors. I'm trying to make the tank wall seem like it doesn't belong to the house to make it really pop. Gonna add a wood moulding around tank. Already bought it but just need to cut be corners. I'm thinking of just putting a black hard plastic to cover that access and put deco rational things on the ledge.

U should do it!! I can't wait to start filling the tank up with corals.

So what do u guys think about the color spectrum of the lights I'm thinking about ordering? And how about my method of slowly moving over sand n rock from my existing tank? Will that shock my tank and kill my reef/inhabitants? Pros please chime in n stop me if needed lol.

That's strange that the pump is loud, mine is super quiet. I had to tweak the pipe a bit to make it silent but its great. Maybe look at something shiny and black for the cover, like the concepts tank

My "Quiet one" was also not very quiet. Now use Eheim and Jebao dc6000. Those are quiet.

i remember the day i brought my laundry tub 'online'. i felt like a god but my wife didn't really understand the thrill lol. her response was "when do i get a new tap upstairs? you have the best one in the house in your fishroom". wall looks so much better already but you're going to have a tough time finding a solution that makes such an opening seamless... good luck!

+1 on the loud quiet ones. they've never been known to be quiet really... had one on my first tank ever.

Anyways I found a giant mark right spank in the middle of my tank!!!
It doesn't feel like a scratch but I can't remove it. It's about 2-3" long



Moulding has been installed. I will be painting it black today.


I put 2 pieces of 2x4 up where there's gaps between my studs so evaporation doesnt mess up everything upstairs and I put caulking all around the gaps to make it air tight.


Put some plastic sheets around my washroom pipeline from upstairs. Also my rock that I had cycling is now in the tank with about 40gal of new mixed salt and about 10 gal of water from my existing tank. I want to make it as close as possible to my old tank so the swap will hopelly not kill any corals. Also put 1 bag of new Fiji pink sand and 1 cup from my old tank along with 2 fist sized live rock from it as well. I will be putting in another 10g old tank water in today as well. Delayed on the vinyl flooring cuz I called around and no stores seems to have a odd ball piece 7x7 laying around so I guess I'll just buy a 12ft n cut it.
