Sorry I’m in the setting up phase of this tank. No pictures of livestock (sea creatures). However I have some set up pictures. Here’s the stand and the sump in the cabinet:

I will try to post a video here. I’m building my tank at our farm’s bunkhouse aka man cave. And no I’m not drunk in the video I stutter when I speak.

Oh but I remember the work to get everything up and going!!

This is going to be an epic journey!

My Mom owned a health food store for 20 years before she sold it 3 years ago. I was assistant manager. Since I had some time in between customers many days when there wasn’t other work to be done I set up a saltwater tank in the back storage room of our store. And since our LFS (Local Fish Store) aka pet shop, doesn’t carry saltwater fish, I bought mine online. And had them shipped to me overnight express in bags of water enclosed in styrofoam to insulate. Well here’s a pic of the FedEx man with a box of fish for me. He was glad to pose for this picture.
