Nanofreak79 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Yay, another 17 Mr. Aqua! Good start buddy! Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Thanks! All of the tracking numbers are up. Tank and light will be here next Tuesday. Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Tank will actually be here on Monday! Couldn't be happier about that since I have no class on Mondays. Going to be a great day! I see that Marine Depot is on this forum. Thanks again for shipping the tank so quickly! Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Got some equipment in today! The surface skimmer hose doesn't fit right with the filter I have, so I might have to look for a fitting piece. It's connected, but it's not a perfect fit. Link to comment

Steelen Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 That backwards delivery! Why save money? No wonder USPS is going out of business slowly. Link to comment

It's just filter floss from InTank. Really excited for these next 2 days. Going to the LFS tomorrow to get water and sand. Oh, and then live rock on Monday. Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 I know I get way too excited about this stuff, but UPS says the light will be here on Monday instead of Tuesday now! AHHHHHH I'M SO EXCITED. Link to comment

AHHHHHH I'M SO EXCITED. I just checked out that light, looks pretty sweet. I'm jealous....no tank for me, at least another two weeks. I tried seeing if MD would swap for a low iron, but nope. I love getting new packages in the mail. I usually have something either form amazon or whatever weekly. Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Just got water and fiji sand from the LFS. Tank and live rock tomorrow. Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Today's the day! Tank is out for delivery. Little disappointed with UPS for my light, though. It's been 5 days and it still hasn't arrived in Florida from California, whereas the light got from Cali to Florida in 4 days. Maybe the truck broke down or something. Oh well. My body is ready Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Here we go! I wonder what it could be... Nicely wrapped Passed the leak test And we're wet! Got 10 pounds of live rock. Going to have an interesting rockscape. You will see Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Woke up to some signs of life (maybe not good life). I've seen 2 or 3 of these flatworms. I took them out. Other than that the water is starting to clear up nicely. I get the light today and hopefully by tomorrow night we will have good visibility in the tank. Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Let there be light! Pay no attention to the rocks. I haven't placed them in the spot I want them in yet because I still can't see clearly enough. Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Working on the rockscape today. I think I'm going to go back to the LFS and get one more nice rock. Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 It was looking good this morning. Then our apartment complex lost power for an hour. Water is cloudy again. But I picked up a nice 4 pound rock just now and put it in the tank. I need to just leave the tank alone for a few days and let the water clear. Then I will arrange the rocks. Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Woke up and the water was about 95% clear. Got home from class and did some cleaning. Got all of the dust off the glass and spent some time working on the rockscape. I really like how it turned out, granted it's not as impressive as some of the other scapes I've seen on here I'll post pics either tonight or tomorrow. Whenever the water is completely clear.

Alex B Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Love the dimensions on that little tank! Good luck with your build! What's LFS do you shop at? Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Thanks! I also love the dimensions. I go to Living Reef in Waterford and Top Shelf on Aloma. Link to comment
Alex B Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Awesome. Those are the 2 best stores I've found in our area. Everyone at living reef is pretty cool! Link to comment
