    My first monster tank!

    Thanks guys and Muske way to put a positive spin on things. I hadnt really thought of it that way. It will probably be closer to a month before the tank is operational now. I did however put a about 150lbs of rock in it, to get the cycle going. So far its been cycling for two weeks.

    My first monster tank!

    Hasnt been fun so havent really felt like updating. I built the sump then broke it ( cracked a side panel), then a few days ago I had some friends over for drinks and when showing off the skimmer I broke that. I am way behind on the build anyway due to a blown head gasket and an emergency dental...

    My first monster tank!
