Prologue to this tank (aka Planning stages)
55g acrylic tank - planning stages

Well after months of planning and saving $$
The 55 gallon tank is running and filled with salt water!
After I set the syphon in the overflow and turned on the return pump
there was one small leak in the return plumbing. A little teflon tape fixed that.
Then there was just one little problem. I realized that the skimmer's electrical cord was partially under the stand. Doh!
Luckily I was able to lift the stand and tank just enough that my Husband was able to pull the cord out from under the stand. It doesn't look like there was any damage done to the cord.

Just a couple of pics

15g tall AGA tank modified for sump.

BTW
This thread's title refernces this childrens poem.
I find it describes my attitude towards reefing and Reef Sanctuary

I am a link in Amida Buddha's golden chain of love
that stretches around the world.
I must keep my link bright and strong.

I will try to be kind and gentle to every living thing
and protect all who are weaker than myself.

I will try to think pure and beautiful thoughts,
To say pure and beautiful words,
And to do pure and beautiful deeds,
knowing that on what I do now, depends
not only my happiness or unhappiness
but also those of others.

May every link in Amida Buddha's golden chain of love
Become bright and strong,
and may we all attain Perfect Peace.
