It's kinda gonna depend on how much rock you plan on having in there.....your list may be ambitious if you plan on doing the minimalist approach with your aquascaping......we can't expect to keep 30 fish with only 50 lbs of rock

.... that being said, I think that as long as you go slow when adding fish, to give the system enough time to adequately recover, then the tank and your fish will tell you when to stop addin

I'm hoping to fit 150 - 200 lbs of rock in there, a bunch being in the sump.

I agree with taking time with the fish, also helps the wallet. I could see myself picking something up each month or so.

Good luck with that. Famous words those =)

Nice looking build. Nice and tidy and well thought out. Keep up the good work.

Helpful hint: Next time you order Ca, Alk, from BRS get them in the 5 gallon size. With a 225g you'll save yourself a lot in time.

Ugh, it's like you know me. I'll try my best though.

Thank you!!!

5 gallon... I just checked it out, it's about $550 shipped, 1/2 shipping and 1/2 product! Is there some other method of getting this stuff? Hot tub store?

Check out the bulk chem's from Marco Rock (Eli) I can't remember exactly what the website is actually called.

I cant wait to get going on that build, should be pretty fun.

I might be following your lead on the DIY LED'S from the same place so lots of pics please.
