Is that chiller staying in the cabinet base ? That thing is going to kick off some serious heat and being inside a cabinet you need to vent it very very well. If at all possible I would try to keep it out of the stand.

 

[bbreef240]

no ..i was just storing it in there ...it is now outside on the right side of the stand...it does kick off some heat....

jarrett shark.....now there is about 350 to 400 pounds of live sand out of a couple of reef tanks that my buddy broke down within the last week or so....and as for rock ....i lost count...if im out and i see a nice piece of branch or rock i pick it up and add it ...also my buddy has over 2000 pounds of live rock at all time so if i need a piece and im looking for a certain shape or branch i just go over there and most of the time find what i need...so as for how many pounds im going to say 3 or 4 hundred and counting....alot of it was out of my brother and my 240...it was posted on mr as my ton of ocean a couple of months ago....we hope this tank will look bettre than that one some day....

the electrician canceled so i have to wait another week or two to run the power to the tank....o well i will just find something else to do....i relly need to get a 2-3/8 dill bit to drill the hole in my sump for the return pump[hammerhead 5800 gallon hr]should be fine for the tank...

 

[Master Shake]

look into oceans motions for a return pump mod i believe it would be perfect for your tank and its plumbing layout from what i can see by the pics

 

[bbreef240]

will do...thank you,,,
