I decided to go with the fritz reef pro mix for salt.. heard good things about this product.. waiting for my dry rock to come from Billy's reef connection and just sand then picking up rodi water from the coral reef till my system comes in and get the tank started up

Put my controllers and power strip in the furnace room right behind the tank so my 2 year old can't get a hold of them.. I know it's not neat lol

The hose can be bought at any home depot or lowes. Its called pvc flex hose or pvc spa flex hose.




Nice little setup. Are you going to putty the holes from the screws?
