It'll settle, but it'll take several days.

When the water clears in a few days, organize your...

Cyano?
Does it cover your sand bed too?

And that's the same statement my wife made during my last cyano bloom. :-(

Hmmm. I just got a TLF Phosban reactor and I'm very happy with it.
Inexpensive, easy to set up and tune, no problems.

Drill a pilot hole, then use a saber saw.

Being that I have the same cabinet (and controller), I just mounted the controller to the front of the cabinet and drilled a single hole for the cable.

Looks like a cyano bloom (I'm currently fighting one myself.)

Third the 75-90 gallon recommendation.

To save money, look for used equipment. eBay, LFS, local papers, Craig's List, etc.

I've saved a ton of money buying this way.

I'm doing the conversion in my head, but that sounds like a 90 gal. tank:

4 ft. (L) x 18 in. (W) x 24 in. (H).

Unless it's taller than that.
That's a pretty common size for a reef tank.

I see your problem.

I'd still try to put a rubber mat or something underneath the pump. Not only for vibration isolation, but as protection from a spill.

Are you using hard pipe from your sump...

Nice aquascaping.

I was looking close at your thread since you're here in Indy. And then I realized that your 55 looks familiar. Are you the one who bought it from me in Danville?
LOL!

Hi!
I'm setting up a new 90 gallon tank after a few years away from the hobby. (Former tank was a 55 with fish and mostly softies.)
