First 75 with basement sump

[Cubbies]

My daughter came home from collage this week end :8party:and we started to make salt water last night. Mixing in 4 tanks is hard to get temps and salinity to match with time its all balancing out. We are in a closed loop in the basement and adding salt to sump.

Salinity is as 1.023 today! Top to frag tanks are heated, still waiting on the fuge and sump to warm up a bit more!

And Bill, it is great! I love having a project to look forward to coming home too, plus, who can complain when its great bonding time!

Nice tank but unfortunately, you have 2 creatures that do very poorly in captivity. The horseshoe crab needs about 20 square feet of sand to feed itself. The flame scallop is a filter feeder that generally starves to death.
