Doctor64776's 400gallon Show 700gallon System

I have the same setup in my fuge to my sump, what I did was bought the PVC caps that go over that size tube and drilled holes in them, it reduces noise and splatter.

You can always try it out and if you don't like it, just remove them, as they don't need to be glued on...

I hate way too much salt spray without them, now I just get a bit of creep out of the holes, which are probably 1/4", you could drill bigger holes.

my LFS sells the filter bags, but you can go on the Precision Marine website and buy them on line, they are 100 micron bags, with nice handles built in and a solid ring that keeps them open.

Which LFS did you get yours from if you don't mind me asking?
 
The nice thing about matt's place, you bring in the old dirty ones and he swaps them out for "cleaned" ones that look nearly new. If you are close enough to go there often, it's a sweet deal.

IS Sea schor still at the same location on Dundee?
 
These are some of the Oak bookcases next to and across from the tank

please tell me that these oak bookcases are in the viewing room of the tank, and not behind the scenes where all the moisture can really ruin good woodwork?
 
Sara No problem I wish I could check out the stores you and Kigs are going to :(

Absolutely all of those OAK bookcases and display stands are in the viewing area facing the Tanks front :)
 
yep, sorry for the hijack doc :)

thanks for the link Sara, I've yet to go to the new place, i'll need to check it out, but Shotank is closer and easier to get to for me.
 
that tank is guite possibly on of the best looking set ups I have ever seen. I can't wait to see how good it's stocked after how good it was designed!
 
ok doc, did you placed LR order yet. i will PM you mine so you can order them at the same time and i will pay you back.
 
LOL I dont have to place a live rock order :) I have been buying live rock and curing it in my seasoning tank for about 18months in preparation for this LOL Marshalls, Fiji, Samoa even a bit of cutured argocrete... I bought much of it from freinds in my reef club who aquiesed and I would then buy out thier systems... Right now as it sits I have about 500lbs ready to go ;) about 200 lbs of cured Live sand and another 400lbs of bagged fine argonite from before the Carribean harvesting closed up ;) Just bought 5 X 5 gallon buckets of Reef Crystals from Doctors Foster and Smith... each bucket will make 160 gallons shipping was only like $11 the buckets were like $30 each WOW I pay $25 for a 50 gal. bag ususally LOL so 3 X as much for $5 more.. get the Quality salt while its cheap.... wierd price actually
 
ok thats fine about the salt, but i am being for real now so will you be able to pay for my live rock all jokes aside or i can used some of yours about 200lbs to start with, i have the sand already and whatever live rocks you give me is fine. thanks doc
