Title: 35G saltwater tank startup
Post by: Parisiot on July 03, 2013, 11:32:30 AM
Started at a 20 and that lasted for 2 months and wanted to upgrade. Found a real good deal on a 35G... should have gone bigger.

This will be a log of progress and additions to the system.

Just recently finished the lighting and the hood.

aaaaand I bought a 50 gallon... I'm addicted.
Gunna drill the tank and slowly get it ready, but no rush for that one.

yeahh the lid is alittle bit crooked still and I am going to put a small black rubber piece in the cracks so you don't see the light leak through. Doors are obviously still missing as well. Everything in time :D
