well we finally got my 220 going. we had a 180 for a while and just got this tank about three weeks ago (aka forever ago). seems like we have had it six months.

chris from reef works says i have no patience LOLZ.
so here are some pics of it getting put together.
special thanks goes out to chris i wasnt sure on plumbing and he came out and took care of it for me. along with a huge amount of help on the aqua scapeing also!
(for a small fee ofcourse but well worth it)
here ya go hope you enjoy!

empty finally placed on its stand after painting on its back ground.

She still looks good man. Yeah i also cant wait till she fills up with coral and fishies!!! Saw ya Saleen also man, looks sweet, I got me a fox 91...love em..

Ohh yeah I have a suggestion,.......Keep up the great work man :D
 
Well Chris did an excellent job helping you out.

It looks like you have a return on either side that comes out just under the overflow boxes? Why a 9 and a 12? Are both pumps near each other and one needs to push further away or is it to make more of a random flow?

I can't afford to do it yet but I have that room divider 125 that I am going to need to figure out how to plumb and its hard to kind of envision what i'll need to do for it.

Also do you plan on any extra powerheads for flow or anything or will you figure it out as you go when it comes down to putting critters in the tank?

hey thanks alot! fox bodied cars are awsome also!


christie- i did a mag9 and a mag12 because the 12 also supplys flow to my fuge other wise i would have probably went with twin mag 9's .dunno why i just kinda like the ideah of a pump running each return. your more then welcome to stop by anytime and take a look at the plumbing its hard to get it all in the pics.
and im deff gonna need a power head on each side although i have plenty of flow rite now i dont feel its enough i plan on filling this tank completely up with sps.

And im with everyone else i cannot wait to get some life in this thing!
