Ty and will do, also should I buy my base rock today so I can fill it up when it comes and my live rock will be ready to go in?

Looking forward to seeing this one come together

Ty!
Update
Just bought the base rock, should be here the 24th. That means I can have the water and rock in a day before and I shouldn't have any dieoff on my live rock on the 25th!!

 

[needmorecowbell]

I'm painting the tank right now and its not layering very nicely.. Any advice?

 

[Mouth-Brooder-Fanatic]

whats wrong with it?

 

[needmorecowbell]

It's not sticking to the tank very well. Kind of patchy.

 

[needmorecowbell]

Update
Finished the sand, background and timer for the lights. Pics coming soon . I personally like how the black looks on it. Should I Mix the water for Monday or do that then?

 

[SwimsWithFish]

I would mix the water 24 hours before you plan to use it

WOOOOT are you going to make a thread about it?

 

[SwimsWithFish]

Yep, the thread is up and running in saltwater reef aquaria.

 

[needmorecowbell]

I'll check it out!

My water is really cloudy an it's been about 2-1/2 hours.. Suggestions? I got a heater and pump moving the surface so it doesn't get stagnant.

If its the sand, it won't settle for like a total of 24 hours.

 

[needmorecowbell]

Oh I didn't know that, I thought it was like four hours

 

[needmorecowbell]

Do i NEED a pump in my tank or can it just set there

 

[SwimsWithFish]

Yeah some people who don't rinse there gravel wait 48 hours before its all settled:/ I would just let it sit for now until all the sand settles, but when you start cycling you'll need the powerheads.

 

[needmorecowbell]

Okay cool cuz my powerhead just broke :| at least I don't have to run to the store and buy a pump.

 

[Mouth-Brooder-Fanatic]

i dont know wether it was the powehead gods telling u the sand needs to settle first or its just bad luck haha.
when can u replace it? xx
