Shopping list for system finally complete. Moved tank to the location where it will be living and started to fill with rock and sand. When happy, filled with water. Once filled the tank was clowdy for a couple days.
Today I picked up the Aquarium from someone selling it on Facebook Marketplace in Hamilton. Tank was delivered home safely though I did get a small $120 speeding ticket… hehe
