i forgot i had this thread up. sorry guys! anyways, the sump as been built twice! lol. first time, i used glass dividers but wasn't happy with the size of the different sections (protein skimmer and return pump didn't have enough room). dad and i took it apart and put new dividers in, this time using super thin acrylic. also got live rock and regular sand in the tank and a light in the refugium for chaeto to grow. the tank has been cycling for a month or so and i already have a st. major's damsel in as a tester fish (which didn't die) and a small bamboo shark. looking for other stocking options that are semi-reef safe (as long as they don't eat corals, it should be ok). I'll post up a list later of several fish i have in mind but we're open to suggestions. looking for bright, colorful fish that aren't too common. i'm also thinking about converting my fluval edge into a pico-reef in a few months

i'll try to post some pictures either tonight or tomorrow morning. i've also recorded two short videos of the bamboo shark. about the sgt. major, i actually have a reef tester kit from petsmart. lol. i was just told by a few people that i should get a tester fish to see just in case. i don't mind him getting big, dad wants big fish in the tank anyways. i also kinda like his personality. don't like how he wants to eat everything though! lol.
