also i see u got a coralife powercenter....i went through 3 of those...the timer sucks......look into a RK2 or ACjr ...its worth it . have fun!
This might be true. i never used one of the strips. i would of recommened the RK2 which is what i use.. but he just spent alot on this upgrade and felt it was too much at the time..

Looks well planned, should be a nice tank.
You can run the phosban reactors in line if you want to eliminate one of the powerheads.
With the amount of flow required in a phos reactor i would not recommend it. to tee off a insump pump is sort off a pain. i like to do this type off plumming on external pumps only

Nice Job! You guys got that running quick.

Why are you running the water level higher?

Is the drain from the fuge making noise?
The water levels seem fine everywhere!

Down from little noise to no noise now. It is incredibly quiet.!

Thanks guys! We took our time and used both of our experience. We hit a snag on the on the drain bulkhead it was 1 and 3/8. and on our first night we had no solution and we didn't want to wait for a new shipment. So 6am saturday I went to home depot and went Mcgyver. I brought 3 possible solutions and the one that work was a some special sink drain pipe. It didnt fit so I heated it up about 3inches high from my lit stove for about 1 minute and It went right in it was perfect.

Well now I have to deal with my ro system going dead. It never ends.

Well I brought some more rocks to cover up the real estate on the left side. Thanks Jon good luck in PR. Waiting for a mini cycle (slight rise very minimal) to pass and the next pics should have more livestock.

Yeah those pipes, are there inside of a roll of carpet one on each side to keep my cat from going into the sump area. He's about three but he's still gets a little nosy sometimes. Once cycle breaks I won't go above five guys(fish) and a blenny.

Coral packs from Daceman. Thanks Bro.

These are some coral I got from Daceman89 yesterday, stayed up till 3am last night raising salinity (too low for these guys) and Glueing These Babies up so when I woke this morning it was picture time for all you picture junkies. Some of these pics are ugly but some are my best yet I placed them in order of worst to best and then full tank shots all under blue actinic. They were taken with a Non-slr pansonic dmc fz-20 with built-in leica lens some were cropped in microsoft digital image editor but no effects (photoshop, etc.).
