Well after winning the big giveaway here, the aquarium showed up today!!!! Yay!!!

 

It will sit in my gaming room. Waiting on the light which I was told would go out this week. Not 100% on how some things will be yet. White or black sand or BB is my biggest debate. Tank will house Zoas and lps.

No real updates. Waiting on the light. Think Im going to go BB on this, the black felt under the tank makes it a nice dark floor for doing so I think. Picked out the rock I will be using too, out of my 75.

The tank looks handsome! It will be nice to start cycling with some well established rock from your 75 gallon aquarium. The felt bottom looks nice, but I wonder if it will still look reflective once the aquarium is full of water? I vote for white sand, just a little bit.

My only debate with sand is I dislike the look of sand up on the glass, which since this doesnt have a bottom rim it would be fully visible. I'll keep thinking on it though.

With the anticipation killing me, I sat one of my 120w led setup on it. This is on just above off on both dimmers.

Ive ordered my sand, black again since Ive had alot of success with it. Might go ahead and start without it though. Good thing about this being so small is it wont be much work to change things from time to time.

Mine is bb, and the felt definitely cuts down on the reflection, not as much as paint though. The felt actually kind of has a black sand look to it from the texture.

Just got my rock in. Filtration isnt working right though, its not over flowing from the first chamber into the second, but its getting into the 2nd anyways, so it much be leaking at the first chambers seems. Might just leave it for today and let my tanks calm down from me changing the scape in my 75 to steal this rock and then maybe tomorrow empty this tank and try to seal the first chamber back up.

Crappy picture but I got the seams fixed and added my sand. Light was shipped today from Nanobox. Going to Boise on Thursday and will likely grab a few new corals for this tank, then order my Legendary Corals after the first of the month.

Im a black sand lover. Ran a 40b for a year on it and my 75g on it for several months too. I just like the look.

Does it get really dirty like people say

Yaya, make sure to get some pictures when they arrive :)

Its advertised as 50gph, but its realy weak compared to the 50gph return pump. But it is moving the water pretty good, thats all I was wanting....plus its cute lol..
