Fritz0id3937 April 10, 2014 Share April 10, 2014 Hi, my name is Brad and I recently joined wamas. I am currently setting up 65 gallon tank for a mixed reef with a 3 section 20 gallon long sump. I have alot to learn and a lot of questions. I've have just finished ordering most of the basics. I am in the middle of drilling my last hole for a herbie overflow, and I hope to start cycling next week. I've ordered 50lbs of dry rock from reef cleaners and 60lbs of live sand, and bacteria starter. I would like to add some live rock to that to help the cycle. I'd welcome any advice for a smooth start and hope to meet people nearby and maybe see their tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fritz0id3937 April 10, 2014 Author Share April 10, 2014 I finished drilling the last hole and glued in the overflow box. What is the easiest way to post pics in a thread? Or should I just start a new thread in the tank build section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or should I just start a new thread in the tank build section? start a new thread and then use a site such as photobucket and copy the IMG code from each photo and paste it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
