The Reef Novice Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Looks good,how long has it been up and running. One thing I would watchout for is on that right handside and bottom left handside there’s not a lot of spacing to clean the glass. Might become a headache later on after you add coral to clean that area. Quote Link to comment

SaltyBuddha Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Nice tank! I am loving the big 40 gallons. Looks like you have some ammonia present in the tank. After only 12 days, I would bet that your tank is still not cycled (the "instant" tank bottles don't work instantly). I would keep an eye on ammonia and nitrites every day and do water changes accordingly. 1 Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Tank looks good. One piece of advice- don't overuse carbon. Using smaller quantities changed every 2 weeks is enough. Quote Link to comment

Decided to not buy it, instead I might just get rid of the sock all together and put a media basket with some seachem matrix amoung other things. really don’t like the sock Quote Link to comment
