For media in the Filstar, First it goes through 3 layers of foam that progressivly gets smaller, ceramic rings (biological), then bio-chem zorb, phos zorb, and carbon
I went to home depot tonight, I got most of the things I need, I'm still waiting for the check valves I ordered on line, I also need to go back to home depot with the truck because the 10 feet of PVC will not fit in the car.:mad2: :rolleye1:

Sory, I have not posted/updated in a very long time. I am very busy with work and geting ready for college.
I have 90 lbs. of fiji premium live rock from Dr's. Foster & Smith.com/Liveaquaria.com I was very impressed with the quality of the packaging. It arrived on my doorstep 24 hrs. after ordering. There are currently 9 damsels and 20 hermits. The sump has 3 gallons of mineral mud, a mangrove and a ball of chaeto. algea. The fish have been in the tank for about 2 weeks. It is already cycled, but I am going to keep the Damsels in for a month or two before I move the 30 gal. into the 90.
I will post pictures soon.
Thanks for the comments BP. We are going to keep working on your tank until it is even more B.A.M.F. than mine.

My phosphates are high, hence the hair algea. I am running kent phosphate remover to help get it under controll.
All of the damsels will come out one way or another. I know I am going to end up taking all of the rock out to catch them, but I am ok with that.
Also, when I get some time, I will take a couple segments of the loc line out to shorten it, but for right now I am just focusing on geting the water quality up to par so I can finally move everything from the 30 gallon over to this tank.

How is your closed loop supported or how do you have it on top of your tank? Is it secured to anything and do you get any noise from vibration on it? If you could post some pics of it. I was thinking about doing that on my 180 but dont know how i was going to do it without vibration from the pipes!

SHADYLADY- the loc-line returns had not been installed when I took the picture. In the four corners of the tank I used 90 degree elbows with a threaded outlet on the bottom.

Then, on the sections of straight pipe, I installed these guys (I dont know how to describe these nor do I know what they are called. All I know is that I found them while I was stumbling around homedepot looking for something else.)

The threaded loc-line connectors screw into these threaded T's, and then the flexible hose and nozzles snap on.
