Filled up with NSW, added the live sand and some LR today to help seed things until I scape the BR this weekend hopefully with the help of @NiCd and some acrylic rods.

Still some tweaking to do, not really liking the fit of the sump cover, doesnt seem to fit properly when you add things into the sump.

Cant understand the Max or Min level on the sticker of the sump and its chambers, so unsure what water level to be at.

The mount for the Elos Osmo Digital sensor is really bad so I dont have that turned on but wish i ddi have.

I wrote out the diary today that I bought today.

I went to David Jones, picked up a small and cute diary and took it to the counter cos there was no price and it came up over $57 and I was like come on i only get 6 months use out of it lol, so got it for 90% off :D

Cant wait to see the teszla one things clear up a little.

Here are the pics

Here's some I took off my phone.

As you can see in the sump shots I have no idea how to mount the OsmoDigital sensor, and how i cant get the cover to sit properly.

I have since pushed the red guide to the skimmer in some more so it isnt the reason the cover doesn't sit properly, I think it's more-so the cables from the stuff in the sump.

Open to ideas :)

The sump cover will not sit right with how you have run the cables.nthere should be a little Perspex strip thing to mount the osmo sensor to

P.S. Your notes say to not use live sand in a zeo system, but you did use live sand. What's the go there dude?

And your skimmer is started at step 3 and 5 :P

Zeo and Leo have a lot in comon....trust me

Just kidding I read that too but was like...."Now you can add a shallow sand bed. Use crushed Coral Sand or Aragonite....

6. Start the skimmer
Start your protein skimmer."

Got my gf's sister to send me some pics of the tank.

Lol you're an idiot..her sister will probably be doing the Zeo dosages while i'm not able to get there.

Looks like little rock but it is only really in there for the cycle and then will be sumped, I may even keep one of the rocks in there to promote the coraline.

All the rock was just being dumped in (carefully haha) because I couldn't see a thing last night.

Looking good and I saw some brittles walking around even though I opted for all pieces with next to no holes in it they still managed to make the journey.

You know what, if you can tidy the cables behind this, the mirror effect could be REALLY cool.

Once I clean up all the cables you should only see the vortech cable. the lighting cables I will run along the topside of the rear then run it down the weir

I've switched.
