    Did some changing to sump and lines. Should be able to start filling with water on tuesday. Hooked up electrical and installed breakers today. Had to cut baffles out of sump and redo with the new setup for filter socks. Should be done and filled up this week. Can't wait.

    Yes that is the plan. Don't want to have an empty tank when people come over:)

    Tank is up and cycling. Had some minor issues Tuesday night after i got the tank full the overflow box bulkhead was having a very slow drip. I ended up taking it apart last night after draining 70 gallons of water and fixing that. So far after all night running no water drips which is good because that was a pain in the rear. I added sand and Rock and the 2nd heater last night as well. I will post a picture later today since it will be clear than. Now just a waiting game. Time to start working on fish and coral selections :)
