Good thing you have a one kick but chiller. Because those water pumps is going to produce a lot of heat. Make sure you have those pumps space out good it will produce a magnetic flux.

Thanks for the tip.

Nice Thread, I'm always waiting to see what you have in store for us next!!

Do you have a source to by your salt in bulk, more than just a 5 gallon bucket at a time? Also, which brand of salt do you prefer?

Brad

I will use Reef Crystal from France.
And I buy from this LFS. http://worldwidereef.com/item.php?pro_id=7

This is coming along fantastic! Good work.
Any thoughts of what you might use to hold your aquascaping together eg. pvc pipes, cement, or epoxy?

Thanks

Kevin

I use this kind of cement.

I love following this build. Alot of planning and doing everything right.

Exactly how I haven't been building mine.

Been a joy to read through this while I'm healing up and getting ready to get back to my tank.....

Thank You for the info
I suppose you wouldn't know which cement that is.

Lowe's sells it in a yellow bucket, with green lettering on it.

Thanks for everybody's help!

Hi Ching,

I had to post my first message ever on this wonderful forum in your thread... I am already following it for some time and I think it is amazing how you make your choices and the patience you demonstrate in realizing your dream.

I cannot wait until you come into the phase of bringing in rock, water and live stock as I convinced that you will make the right choices again...

Good luck and keep on posting your progress!

Regards from The Netherlands,
Hans

What is your total water volume for your entire system? The thread title of 1000, I assume that is just your display?
