We have water in the tank!!!! Leak testing started at 2pm today. Denzil was awesome enough to do a silicone sniff test, and when it passed, he filled up the tank for me since I was/am at work <3 :) Almost there. Hopefully skimmer should be in in the next few weeks! After it gets in, the set up...

And for the record, it took a lot of work to get it clean :p Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Hey, it's a clean, empty glass box :p the emptiness is temporary. ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Ok all. Here are some pictures. I'll have to get the pics that Denzil took. These phone pics don't do it justice. Denzil put tape down before siliconing, so we have nice, clean lines. :) Oh, and here's the newest member of our family ;) His name's Jak-Jak. Someone brought him in last...

Denzil checked online because he didn't believe the bottle when it read cured after 48 hours. People said let it cure at least a week, and we sees doing two plus a week of leak testing. Hopefully three weeks should be good!! Thank you though. You confirmed our suspicions. Sent from my iPhone...

As of right now the new silicone in the tank is curing!!! @denzil, in all his awesomeness, resiliconed the 210 on Sunday. ^.^ I have not posted updates because between a sick, 4 week old kitty, and early shifts at work, my butt's been adraggin'. Hopefully I'll post pics when I get home tonight...

It's gloriously huge! Hahaha. Although, for the amount of fish that I'd ultimately like to have, it's still really small comparitively.... LOL. May just have to build another Steinhart Reef tank ;) And yeah, I know I don't need the skimmer to cycle, but if the skimmer doesn't get in the stand...

LoL!! I wish!! Apartment complex would probably evict me if the tank got all over the floor though >.< Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Tank all stripped of silicone and cleaned up!! It still needs one good scrub down before we start taping off to re silicone, but we are getting there! New skimmer is on back order until possibly October. Depends on how long US customs takes with the RLSS order to the vendors. If its not long...

That's really neat Felicia!! You're giving me seahorse envy!! LOL Glad they settled in just fine :D they look great!

Hrmm... come and plumb my 210!!! LOL ;D It looks really awesome! Can't wait until you get some water in it. :)

Haha, thank you! It did get a bit long... I had no plans on doing this until after school, and I was going to go a whole different route. A late night heads up from @gimmito changed all that when he told me about a killer deal on this 210 for sale.. haha :) Don't let the stand fool you... it...

Thank you!! No worries, I've been dying to upgrade since the end of July (when I became eligible for one) and Verizon definitely hasn't let me forget with all these emails! We'll see how the 15th's paycheck looks like... if the 5s is out by then, I'll go out and get a new phone. No reason to go...

That's awesome!! I was wondering about that. I figured you had been super busy, so I haven't tried to bug ya too much ;) I'm so excited that they've eaten for you!! Congrats!

So, I was able to get the silicone stripped out a few days ago. Denzil needs to grab a few more tubes of silicone and we should be just about ready to roll... although we did hit a minor set back. After deciding to go ahead and get the new skimmer, we go to order it and it's on back order...

I don't blame you, I wouldn't want to either. I'd rather play it extremely safe instead of being horribly sorry. Only thing you waste is time being overly safe while on the other hand... haha ;) Good luck!! Keep us posted!! :D

Idk, I think bagged "live sand" is gimmicki. I'd be careful, because unless it's under 24 hours old, you could be adding a bunch of ammonia to your tank, and if you don't have a ton of nitrifying bacteria because you have a smaller bioload, it could potentially kick start a mini cycle. I cycled...

Holy moly..... O.O Hope you had a great time on vacay!!! :D Can't wait to see some pics. I bet your little girl was happy to see you (unless she was very lucky and got to travel with you, hehe) :D

Makes my 210 feel like a little 10 gallon pico... holy moly O.O I now have a severe case of tank envy. You'll never be able to move LMAO. How would you ever get that tank out? Can't wait until it's up and going. What awesome dimensions!

Ok cool. I had thought that's where you got them from, but I wasn't sure, so I wanted to ask. :) Thank you!
