I have had SW for a few years just never used RO water before this tank. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320AZ using Tapatalk

it's only a 2 chamber from petco I can't see it removing everything that's why i add prime. I could be mistaken thou? I would eventually like to upgrade to a 4 chamber + when money is right.

i have one in my front yard! ridiculous i thought about drilling a .5 hole 24" deep into the base downward and plumb a bottle of crossbow into it and let it drink itself to death lmao Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320AZ using Tapatalk

that's the best recipe next to crossbow! used alot of it last summer clearing brush for a food plot (I'm an avid hunter) and it worked better then expected! even killed all the poison oak witch means it works on broad leaf plants aswell! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320AZ using Tapatalk

well if all goes well it will still be dry in the morning! but I i do need to get a new one way check valve I don't like that this one is spring loaded making my pump have to work harder to push the water up also hurting the overall GPH. not to mention it doesn't even seal all the way... lmao PO[emoji90] !!!

sounds great man! what time you thinking? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320AZ using Tapatalk

Thank you for the offer on the water I may take you up on the offer with the mushrooms and toadstools do you have any pictures of them? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320AZ using Tapatalk

Thanks for the offers guys but I picked up a cheap RO/DI filter for my kitchen faucet and then I'm going to use prime with it so I hope everything goes well. Thanks again for the lights powder blue 2 is perfect[emoji108] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320AZ using Tapatalk

got my lights and sump plumbed also got the rock all in and ready now for sand and water tonight! 5G at a timethis should prove interesting.only 2 months to go until it's ready for swimming life!!!

Yeah I chose white because I thought that it just looked nicer than black and not the standard. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320AZ using Tapatalk

sorry been super busy, thanks for the response! i picked up 150lbs of rock from a guy on here Tenderfoot I believe his SN is. so what I don't use I'll be sure to try and find a spot to put what I can in. I was thinking my old 20g long tank and putting my own baffles in it so I can also make a spot for a refugium being that something I want to do in the future. Yes the tank is 48 inches long, what kind of corals would that T5 be able to support? I was thinking of picking up a couple of 150w metal halides from Garrett at TPA but not sure if those warm it up so much that I would need to put a chill or on it and not wanting to have to do that nor do I think they would fit in my hood and I don't want to have to build a new one. I think in the end the AI Prime would be the best way to go with it two of those but not in the budget at this time but still up in the air with what I'm actually going to do with it just got it in the house and trying to figure out a good spot for it at the moment this is the location it's in right now and I don't know if I really like it or not yet.

thanks a lot I'm sure I will have lots of questions [emoji23][emoji24] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320AZ using Tapatalk

Hey I'm new to the forum and starting a 65g build in yhe next few weeks kinda a rookie as Iv only messed around with SW for a few years and never really dove in. wanted to get into it again, so I picked up a 29g bio-cube been running it for almost 4 months without a hitch so decided to get a bigger tank. Now I have a 65g tank that I picked up this last weekend got the paint on the stand done and the acrylic buffed and Polished out but now kind of at a standstill on where I should go with it it came with the sump but not really too sure if I should use it although I think it would work for the meantime just want some insight from you old-time reefers anything helps and ideas are always great haven't decided what lighting to go with yet either. This is a few pictures of the tank before and after and what it looks like in its new current state of white.

ready to learn from everyone!
