Holy Moly. Just read through your entire thread. Absolutely phenomenal job!

I'm in the process of planning my in wall build ... and you've given me a hundred ideas to incorporate.

Phenomenal work!

You should see it in person it really is phenomenal. Everything is so clean and well thought out in terms of placement and future needs. It was certainly inspiring to see and watch come to life through the thread.

Dave how far are the reflectors from the water level? i have about the same reflectors and don't have a lot of head room and mine are going to be about 9 inches off the water i am hoping that is not too close i figured about a foot is optimal but that is not going to happen.

Thanks! That is where most of my ideas came from, other peoples builds.

The funny thing is that there are always things that I would have
done different.:headwally:

Nathan, they are about 12" off at there highest.
I can lower them to about 3"off.

Between the Tangs and the Bull Dozer Turbos they cleaned it up in short order. It was just a matter of time.


By the way, your tank looks freaking awesome.:wave:

Yea, I have been dealing with a sick mom over the holidays among other things. She was in and out of the hospital 2 times with in a week.:worried2:

The tank is doing fairly well. I am going through another algae bloom on my sand bed but nothing like at the beginning. I am still looking for the best flow. Might be adding another mp40 in the spring. Work has slowed down and short on cash.
