Ok so it’s sort of a rock wall LOL but has varying structure for fish and coral placement.

It looks good.

One typically puts water in before livestock, but it looks like they're doing well so far.


Yeah I had to air acclimate them. It’s kinda like drip acclimation but you hold them out of water instead. [emoji2957]

The plan is to bring the water line up high enough to run the vortechs. I can then add salt and bacteria to start the cycle.

Need to finish configuring the sump and will then top it off with more salt water.

What salt? I did that too but you'll absolutely get residue that you don't want.
