Thanks for that
next thing now high should be the water level i have it like 1ins but get this gurgling noise

[SantaMonica]

1 inch is fine.

Gurgle is from your drain routing.

is there a way to stop it ?

[SantaMonica]

Make sure the drain always angles down, not up or sideways.

I had gurgling drains when I tested with freshwater, but they went away when I actually ran salt water. With freshwater I was getting a vortice that would pull air down into the drain. So, if you are testing with freshwater, don't do anything about it until you get it running with salt.

This my progress after 7days
if there is any comments plz do :D

[SantaMonica]

Excellent for 7 days. Shows what strong, even lighting can do.
