DIY fuge made out of an AC-110 and a Marineland LED light.

So the tank is filled and all the rock is in, fish acclimated.

I am actually pretty happy with my rock work. It could be better but I'd need all the same type of rock rather than the piecemeal stuff I have now.

FTS:



Still a little cloudy after moving all the rock around today.
Flow seems good, nothing setting on the sand but no sand storms. Using ELSE mode on the Jebaos.

Well everything is in and connected, the sand storm is cleared, still have a couple pieces of coral to place, but so far so good.
