Well i got the 30 Gallon up and running right now,

I am having abit of a Algae issue due to the new lights and my RO membrain needed to be replaced..

So some info on the tank.

Setup 5 weeks ago, Everything was moved from my 72G witch i had to sell. That tank was running for 18 months and running strong.. So this tank is more than mature!

So im running a 30 gallon tank ( 30x18x12)
Running a 33 gallon Sump, Berlin classic skimmer , Little giant retun pump ( tank is drilled with a 2 inch hole)

Running 80 pounds of live rock and a 4 inch sand bed ( crushed Coral) and running a DSB in my Sump.. will be adding some Calupra this weekend.

well here are some shots of what i have!

Sweet! I just wish I could connect my bloody camera to my PC to download pics of your old 72/65G tank that's now in my living room.

Nice corals man.

Its a beautiful tank you bought there.. lol,, and it will be great when you get it up and running.. Like i said.. im allways here if you need it.. you know where i live so when you want just come on up and get some live sand.. and when i have some Shrooms and stars ready for Prop.. then you can come get them.. like we spoke about when you picked up the tank.

Yea.. i started to get it.. and found out that my RO Membrain was ripped.. So i had to replace it.. i should have noticed it was filling up the resovior faster but did not..

So i just need to keep up with the water changes and it will go away.
