Hi everyone, I have to share...We have been in the process of putting the sump for my 120 in the basement. It was a project we talked about for a long time but always put off. Well about a month ago my lighting system shot craps. It was power compacts from my previous set ups all crammed into a very nice canopy Greg made. Some of the ballasts were over 10 years old. So of course since I HAD to upgrade and we had no time to put anything together ourselves. I ordered the aquaulightpro with the 250 malide 10,00k bulbs, 2 96 watt pc's and moon lights.(So we needed to get going on the sump in the basesment to keep the tank cool.) The light looks awesome but I have been told it probably wasn't my wisest choice. I should have talked to my favorite "guy" first. By the way Rod, thanks for all you help with the rest! Okay , I got sidetracked.
Rod got us the pump we needed and we used a 150 gallon stock tank from Farm and Fleet that we put up on cider blocks(more advise from Rod)Long story short, everything is up and running and I did my first waterchange today. There was a lot of dietrus in the sump from me re-arranginging the rock in the main tank. We don't have the auto water change system set up yet but this was still the easiest waterchange I have ever done. Pumped out of the sump and then pumped new water in! Presto!
Everything looks great with the new light and the additional flow and water.Had to share!!!Thanks Rod!

I was almost afraid someone might ask. I haven't posted pics in a long time.I'll have to check it out to see if I can figure it out.I'm a little short on time for the next week or so. By then we might have the refugium and up and going as well. It's so exciting to finally have this going. I will share when I have a little more time..........
Meg.
