    I am making water!

    Might get a bucket of salt early next week and start the cycle!

    Stand is painted too. I'll get pics in a bit

    The stand/canopy works perfectly. Not complaining about them at all.

    I painted it flat black. Going to do brushed aluminum hardware on it.

    I've been looking at designs for stands with no center support, I might give one a try this summer.

    Actually I think you want it to travel through more times rather than stay longer. In my experience Chaeto grows better with a brisk tumble.

    Chaeto you definitely want it to tumble for maximum effectiveness, but other macro's you want it to go slowly thru the sump for the nutrient capture.

    Can we get him to sign it?
    And if so do you have a payment plan? Lay-away or financing?
