As for the DT I'm gonna go with just enough black substrate to cover. I have a lot in my frag tank right now and figure I'll save a bit of money. It is kind of a crushed coral type but quite live as we speak. As for the fuge I'm not really sure yet. The fuge section is only 7"x7.5"x10" so a DSB...

I just broke about an hr ago. I just could not stand it anymore. I had about 25gal of water ready since I usually buy so I used it. Need a few more gal though. I did however find a tiny leak at the elbow coming out of the return bulhead, so I'll work on that tomorrow. Otherwise everything looks...

Hidden Reef had a nice coupon towards the end of the year so I broke and got the MP-10. As for lights, im gonna go with T5's. I got a good deal on a brand new Deep Blue Solar Extreme quad. So im gonna give it a go. That LED is just too much for this tank. This is going to be in my family room so...

At the rate I make RODI its gonna be awhile. Here is a few pics of it filling. Thanks for looking John

Well the plumbing is done. Hopefully, I get some pics up soon. Made a few changes from suggestions in the "plumbing assist" threat I had. We will see how it goes. The can of glue for the PVC says 2 hr curing time. Does that mean I can add water after that? Also on a side note, the nem that I...

You know, George sent me that pic also. Forgot all about that. I actually have the "T" just gotta get a cap for it. As for the BRS holder and the CPR one as well I don't have the room for them in the sump. VERY TIGHT. Thanks guys John

Quick Hijack, sorry. I have been racking my brain trying to come up with a way to add a sock when needed. this seems perfect. Im hoping to go without, but we'll see.

I was actually thinking of redoing the sump to make more room in the drain compartment not sure yet. I have a few day to consider since I'm waiting for a new bulkhead

Got it. I was trying to come up with a way to add one. Like I said I probably gonna go without but just in case. The ability to add would be nice

I felt like I was watching the Flight Crew for the past few weeks. Why no sock? I was not planning on using one but the ability to add if need would be nice. Sump was steady tested. Nice and water tight. Not pretty but tight.

Thanks guys for Everthing. I'm in the process of making a few changes. However I now have to wait for a new bulkhead for the return, I broke it. Of course my LFS has one, I bought it, the f'n hole is about 1/8" to small. So now I wait for glassholes to get back to me

My overflow can more thank handle the pump at max flow, so as far as tuneing down Im net even sure Ill need to. I was thinking that the ability to shut down during a water change would be good. I was gonna use flex for the overflow also but they did not have on hand so PVC I went.

I just put the valve there just cause well that s the way the LFS set It up for me. I was using the clear flexable tube cause the pump came with a barbed end and just figured it would be easier to set it up that way. I can just as easily change it though, and go straight PVC. As far as that...

Could someone please confirm this for me. Everything is dry fitted. But want to make sure it looks good before I glue. Thanks in advance for the help John

When I originally placed these two corals, a orange cap and what I belive to be montipora spongodes. I had no idea they would end up doing this well. Now they are getting pretty close to each other. There is actually only about 1/4" between them, and they are growing fast. Will they just...

Those guys are great. Mike actually talked me out of buying coral some months back before they were open. Just got a $50 gift check from them for Xmas, looking forward to using it.

painted and ready for plumbing

Thanks George for the pic. Im gonna see what I can come up with but I just may go without. I also made some more progress today. Baffles held and sump and sections are water tight. And the 20H is drilled and overflow and return are installed. I was nervous about drilling. Afterward I realized...

Well i have a nice 5 day weekend so I started the sump today and ran into a bit of an issue. After my so called careful planning and my awful measuring I just noticed that I will not be able to fit a fliter sock in the skimmer area. Here is the sump as of right now only 1 more piece of glass to...

Its does seem like a lot of flow. But they do seem to be pointing down somewhat. How about placing them on opp. sides, back corners, about 1/4 way down, both pointing a bit up towards the front center area. Should get good turbulance and flow.
