so an update on the tank:: the diatom stage is now over with. What im working on now is getting the refugium built into the sump... This im taking slow because the sump is operational and i dont want to make the tank too dirty. Mangroves will be added and ill be growing those with a 30" pc light hung from the underside of the top of the cabinet. ill be using some sand but im going to try and keep it think so i dont lose a lot of water room, as of now its bare bottom and theres a bunch of cheato the water is passing through. i plan to keep a crab to so in there to help clean up the sump a bit, being it will be kinda hard to clean the sump being its so low. Anyways ill have some pics up tonight.
