Hey why is your skimmer cup empty, shouldnt it have some shit in it?
Where you have your bio balls, dude once told me he took a bunch of McDonalds straws and cut them in little inch pieces, and it worked.

Thats whats up, im multi posting like a beast, but this shit gets me off. I once deconstructed a filter and filled the whole thing with ceramic rings. I was pushing 540 gph in a 40 gallon tank.
The bitch had flow my son.. and it was silent. I miss that flow sound, hella zen, you know?

Yeah that's what Im saying, when you have four seperate filters you can cycle the nitrate cleaning one by one and not kill off all your benefical bacteria, but not let them get so funked up that the nitrates start climbing.
What are you picturing with your sand bed? Give me a heads up on what you're picturing and I'll see if I can brainstorm something up. Its tough when I can't physically see your system..
We can get anything done for dirt cheap, I know that much.

It should run you about 10 or 20 bucks. It depends on if the cutter wants to charge you the whole sheet. Theyre usually 24x48. I would think its about 10 bucks..
You'll have to stand around for an hour trying to find a cutter, but..

I imagine that looks quite alright under those led's when all the rest of the lights in the room are cut off. Post those pics when you have time.

In all honesty, when you start breaking it down saltwater is a lot easier than sweetwater, it just costs boatloads more to set up. Fresh you have all kinds of specific levels depending on what you choose to keep etc, salt water is pretty much 'seen one, seen'm all'..
Don't be intimidated, set up some polyps in a 20 gal and iron out all the details and once you have that down the sky's the limit, sky aka bank account. It's just another aspect of nature

Slow and steady gets it. Those blue lights are dope as fuck. Tape off the seams down below so when you chill bonged out in your bean bag chair you dont see the white light from what's going on down below..
Get the "sways" in there, you know what I mean? Movement, that shit will have you tripping at night. Current "sways".. you know what I mean,
Hella potential in that tank
