    Pats 40 breeder :)

    well finally tank is almost ready for water
    only thing holding me back is no stand and a drying overflow box
    stand will be up tomorrow so tank will see water then

    hears some pics of progress on prepping the tank

    Its looking great, but I agree with Pearson that looks like play sand. Did you do the vinegar test on the sand to make sure its not silica based?

    Just curious. It's not as desirable as aragonite sand for a number of reasons, but it's not as bad as most people make it out to be.

    thanks,
    yea it had to be, took two days to get everything over
    the sand was dry in a bucket i rinsed it out to make sure its clean

    working on the sump gonna try to get it together after work and gonna pick up a temporary pump from a local reefer

    the dead zones in the tank are very small all the rock looks to have water flowing threw picking up a power head from a buddy in the next few days to make sure

    Pat it looks good. You got a good deal on the zoas and skimmer. I have that same one and find it skims very dry.

    I would keep a close eye on the params. You have put a pretty heavy bioload in there all at once.
