From beginning to End

Idk, i think it will be pretty cool to show people how im doing this from scratch, and maybe give people starting out an idea as well. Anyways, here goes.

To start off.. heres what my small freakin room looks like with tons of stuff all over the place:





And heres my 55G with the black background. Yeah i know the white part looks crooked.. and thats because i didnt have enough and well.. it is crooked. lulz.




Ill keep this updated if you guys think its a good idea.

Cheers.

Well heres an update as for the sand and my tank. I find that the oolite is extremely fine, almost to the point of powdery.. until ofcourse it hits the water lol.. then it soaks it up and gets heavy as ****.


Heres 50lbs of Aragonite oolite.


I made sure it was even across the whole tank as well. The depth is at 2.5" and some parts are at 3"


So far so good

P.S. Thanks for tagging along Etunes!!

I always enjoy watching people set up their new tanks from start to finish, especially with big salt water setups. I will definitely be following you from now on and I look forward to your next set of updates and photos. Good luck man!

You have never technically said even though it is kinda obvious you are doing a salt water tank. But are you? Also what other tanks do you have?

He is doing saltwater, in fact, he's setting up a reef. I think he has a 20g tank too.
