I just did a quick search for his FS thread...looks like it sold the other day. Sorry about that.
yeah mine too. I'd have to second mortgage solar cells to power the aquarium stuff alone!

That's just ONE MP60 moving 500 gallons of water every which way. With the second one hooked up, I might get some water on the floor. And if you're curious, that 6201 in the video is NOT running. That's just the ONE MP60. Once the tank is filled above the overflow teeth and running, the water line will raise up a few inches and hopefully won't be as forceful/loud right above the pump. If not, I'll lower the pump a tad. The pump isn't affecting my sandbed at all (below the pump like I had feared), but IS on the OTHER end of the 96" long tank. Wow, talk about a beast of a pump!

why did you add water before you installed any of your plumbing?

Cus I got sick of looking at an empty tank. :hmm5:

Actually it's more complicated than that. I couldn't do the plumbing until the sump was in place and done and I couldn't get that done until the skimmer was here so I knew how big the skimmer chamber needed to be. Everything was waiting for something else. Now that the skimmer is here, the glass for the sump is ordered and the plumbing will be done shortly.
