today after work i drained the tank and sump and brought it upstairs with my super tough wife...
also blacked out my cpr lid and the sides and back to cut down on the alge.

TURN ON THE WATER !!!!!
We all want to see the cloudy tank shot.
Looks like you have crossed your Ts and dotted your I's.
Great job on your build!
Please lets see if it holds water. LOL
 
Looks great nice build. You should put the heater in the sump when you get it running so you can't see it. But Keep going fill fill fill......Looks great.
 
I so don't want to be at work today.. I want to be home sitting there watching my water and sand settle.
 
lol.. well change of plans a little my wife finally said that she would rather have some trigers and lion fish over coral so we are going to go that route with the tank.

So I took the wife and kid to OBD today while at OBD Becca swiped our super cute baby and held him hostiage till we bought the phos. side of there dual reactor set up cause I had already bought the carbon side so I put in line today here is a pic.
