ok got some more updates to post went to my buddy's wedding on saturday so everything that got done on sunday was almost like forced labor; read that as hungover as hell, lol..... picked up a plastic tray to use under the drain will be adding some filter floss of some kind to this area to help trap some of the junk; pretty simple on the plumbing all though it did take me a while (see above).... one 1" drain & the spray bar return system is done in 1/2" pvc.
BIG THANKS TO GRESHAM!!! for the suggestion of looping the spray bar into a rectangle works perfectly with plenty of flow across the whole tank and no need for an energy hungry pump.
sump contains return pump, tunze skimmer and i will be adding some live rock or bio balls as well. anyways onto the pictures

Hello, I just read half of your thread, I dont have the patience to read it all
That odd given there are far more threads on Krylon Fusion paint and no ills effects. I know people that have been using it for 5-6 years with no issues. Krylon Fusion is made to stick to plastic and it sticks rather well to acrylic. Normal spray paint does as well, but you can scratch it off easier.

My LFS painted his tanks with the krylon stuff while they were up and running lol, everything lived!
btw, its a little hard to see with the pictures (though from past pics i dont think this is the case) however, if you have tank on top of tank, and you put the lights for one tank on the base of the one above it, paint the bottom of your tanks black. blocks out light.
Titeo, you cant trust those pesky do it yourselfers 8p

well Gresham has already addressed this but just to add my own experience to the mix i have used Krylon Fusion on a number of projects and have never had an issue with it; including my 100g reef tank in the house the whole overflow system ( a coast to coast style) was sprayed and the tank houses a little bit of everything, sps,lps,clams, fish inverts etc etc. with no issues.

it sure does stick rather well to acrylic i ended up using some novus 3 and allot of elbow grease to fix my paint seam that somehow got under the tape :fun5:
Gresham do you have those 2" bh? I also have a couple of other questions for you might just shoot you an email.

if i understand what you are saying i don't think it's going to be an issue there is a 1/2" piece of plywood that each tank is sitting on.

Gresham any chance of getting those bh from you was hoping to get the rest of this plumbing done over the long weekend. I tried calling your office this morning but i got a voicemail for a linda i think it was. I have a couple of questions for you as well. I may be headed to dc in the next week. Let me know thanks.
