The 180 is mostly set up.

I bought one of Bob's 180s and today I got all of the parts together and put it together. It leaks a little bit fro a couple fitting, but I assume the silt will plug up the leaks soon enough. The wet/dry is humming along and I have dosed it with bacteria from another aquarium. I am guessing that within a week the baby fish will go in to have a lot of room to grow.

Almost good news Mark. The leaking worries me.
First, I would check the washer to be sure it is surrounding the hole correctly. More likely you will need a bulkhead wrench. Call Aqueon as they may give you one if you tell them you lost yours. Or these wrenches are better than what Aqueon has. https://www.precisionmarine.com/product ... -wrenches/

The leaks have stopped. I have pans under the hoses, but I suspect that if no one fools with anything they will stay sealed.

I replaced the old bio balls with 1,000 1 inch sponge/plastic ones. The baby fish went in today and are happy as a clam.

Good news Mark.
