We are down about 32-36". I will try to get the plumbing done in the next few days.
How far are you pushing the water to your room and what size pump(s) are you using
 
Lovely stuff, lots of hard work and great planning lead to wonderful results. I must say I enjoyed reading your thread for the very first time and hope to see it progressed and turned in to a great piece of reef heaven.

Good luck

sweet set up! anything you would do different or change?

Great question! I would probably go bigger for one. I also would have had dryboxes installed so I could add a few vortechs, but I can still do that. Thats about it for now. I'm sure I will see more mistakes when the tank is full.
 
Not too big of a deal to most but it was for me, got the skimmer moved in this weekend. I bought this things over 3 years ago and have moved it so many times. Its been in my house for the past 2 years so the heat would not hurt any of the uniseals. To finally have it in its final resting place is a huge deal for me. I just wish I could fill it up. I will be working on the plumbing and electrical in the shed the next few weeks. These pictures were taken thru the door way as most are due to the lack of a wide angle lens.

You should put a "donate now" paypal button on your thread to speed up the progress.... Hey a million one dollar donations make's you a millionaire! AND the owner of a mini Seaworld. lol
 
Good work Ryan! Skimmer looks insane too...just keep pressing along, it's better to have time to think things through before it's too late.
 
:thumbsup:Very nice build. Where are you planning on adding a generator for monsoon insurance? Late night reading so not sure if I just missed it somewhere. :sleep:
 
Question on the Stand.
I have my Father In Law helping me build one for my 250 gallon in wall build next week. From looking around at peoples DIY stands I have seen some with feet and some without. Did you put any feet on the bottom or does the bottom of the frame rest right on the concrete floor?

Thanks!
