Well cycle is moving along excellently. Spiked to max of 0.75 Ammonia. Now we are sitting between 0 and 0.25ppm. And starting to get some algae growth. So it was time to start adding CUC. Tossed in 6 Trochus. Will be slowly building that up as time goes on.

Plus I added substrate. Pics included. Plus people wanted to see some plumbing. Well here it is folks, welcome to my world of simple stupid.

Oh the excitement. I love it when all the parts finally come together. Here's to your next sleepless night when you pick up the pump!

Hello

If that's a filter of some sort on the main drain pipe (right of skimmer) into the sump that's neat.
