Here you go John, Rich and everyone else interested some pics! No more leaks...added 5 bags of Nature Samoa Pink Sand, then followed with premium LR 99% figi. My wife said I need a little more! Now started to add the prepare water. Before I went to bed, I had the water level just above the rocks. Running the Dart for the water flow. OM 4-way took out the drum inside the unit, until the sand/flow settle. Do not want to ruin the drum, thanks John for the advise. I'm making more water to finish the tank and fill the sump.

Looks great!

You have to be one of the best dressed people I've ever seen working on a tank

 

[Wolverine57]

Thanks Rich, you can see it whenever!
Apreciate Kris, still filling the tank, then there still the sump to fill...LOL

 

[Wolverine57]

Tank is full, now filling the sump!

 

[janey]

cool...

 

[JLAudio]

looking great jonny! All that prep and work is paying off. The closed loop system baffles me but it seems you guys did a great job with it

 

[latino277]

looking good man... one thing. do yo have a cover for that close loop intake?

Looks great so far! Can't wait to see it stocked.

 

[Wolverine57]

Rich, soon you will see it stocked with amazing stuff. Thanks!

Finally tank and sump has water! Even the ATI BM200 is running.

Just too noisey, from the water coming down. Need to figure out how too muffle the sound.
John, any suggestion in covering up the OM/dart.

 

[latino277]

Looks good! :splitspin

I'm assuming you didn't get any leaks from the return/manifold?

I got a couple of Idea's on covering up that OM/dart.......

 

[Wolverine57]

John, no leaks on the manifold! Look forward for that idea! To hide that OM/Dart!

 

[latino277]

I'm thinking a simple open back cabinet with a front door... and shelving. This way you have some storage for food and supplies.

Sounds great, lets build it!

Ok, picked up a few of my corals at a friend house that I had lefted in his tank, not much. But they seem to be doing well. Also put on the light fixture. Currently running atinics, the fixture is a 2x 250W HQI with 14K Phoenix. Sunday, I will pickup some more corals at another friends house. Will be ordering some fish and other corals from Hawaii next week. But I will not go crazy stocking it up to fast. Little by little. So far I am please with the results.

Now I want to redo my tank, and I'm telling hubby he can blame it all on you.
