The complete idiot's guide to starting...

Well maybe not. Did research here for my 72 bow for about 2 months now and decided to take a road trip to thatfishplace.com

I was planning on purchasing my set up there and was still a bit clueless on some of the minor but important details of setting up. The piping return and some of the little buggers that can get in your way when trying to set up. Sump set up etc.

Anyway.... usernme: aquareeferman was working that day and hooked me up. Answered my questions and I just need to finish up my sump and test water flow with tapwater before completely setting up my tank for a cycle.

Anyway....there is hope for help out there in fish store world (vs net help only) as long as you get the right person to help you............

Set up vid coming within a few weeks. Gonna go with a 1.5 -2 inch sand bed in tank....

Yeah I am glad I could help you out. Sorry about the overflow box not coming with the eshopps sump kit. I could have swore it came with it. Like I said if you need any help setting it up lemme know I will gladly come out and give you a hand.
