Slow waiting period

It will eventually payoff.Take it slow.

plumbing is all done. tank is still filling up

water comes in on the far right of the sump. have a euro reef skimmer in there and will probably have rock rubble in there.

have a Rio hyperflow 32 return pump (1920GPH) which is split(both sides have ball valves). one side goes back to the tank and the other side feeds into the 30 gallon refugium (on the far left of the stand)..... refugium is drilled and will overflow back into the sump.

thanks guys...

tank is half full, so i added half aragonite and half crushed coral. (dont want sand blowing all over the place from the wavemaker)

tank is finally full and running.

still adding a little more water to increase the level in the last chamber. but all is working great

have a 200 micron sock in there to help polish the water from the sand. so should be a couple days

the refugium isnt filled yet.... once i add the rock the water will start to rise..... so ill open the valve to the refugium and start filling it with the water that gets displaced by the rock
