Looking good Since I'm currently cycling, just curious what sort of cycle you experienced (if any)?

Well all the water, sand and rock was taken from a tank that has been running in one way or another for 3+years so there was no noticeable cycle. The only thing that could have caused a minor cycle was stirring up the sand when I put it in but I really didn't notice much of anything other than a little spurt of algae.

Nice! Waiting for mine to finish up so I can start adding stuff, waiting is the hardest part

Haha it sure is. Had to sit through a cycle a few times. Good luck with your tank.

Well I wasnt paying attention earlier and dropped one of the lights into the water and shorted the bulb. Ooops lol. I'm actually thinking about doing a small LED build for this tank. I'm thinking either 2 royal blue and 1 cool white or 4 royal blue and 2 cool whites. All of these would be placed on a custom machined heatsink enclosure and hung pendant style over the tank..
