8 gallon biorb reef build

[saltwaternewbie12]

I am starting a new 8 gallon Biorb tank. This will be a softie reef when done. So far I have removed all the stock filtration, air pump, and lighting from the tank. Siliconed the airline tube closed to prevent leaks. Added a 20 watt 50/50 power compact bulb to a cheapo gooseneck clip on fixture. Has a 25 watt slimline heater, and a maxi jet 400 power head. All filtration will be through live rock, sand, and water movement. Currently have 5 pounds of "real reef" live rock and will add about 6 more pounds in the next few days. Will update this thread with new pics, and info as things change and tank gets looking better and not so cloudy!

I'm curious to see how this works out.
