Here is a new type of plumbing I just heard about on Reefcast #5 it was not available in the stores as of the show, but Reefcast #5 was put out March of 2006, <yes, I am still catching up on the old ones> But here is a link to the manufactures website which shows that it is made in a really nice blue.

Here is where I got it.

twisted that red and blue plastic tubing is what new houses are plumbed with. red is hot water and blue is cold water.

 

[Twisted]

Yup, stronger then PVC, more flexible, and only has a couple fittings, no gluing, and a few other things, they talk to a contractor that uses the stuff on reefcast, I think episode 5 or 6

well it is almost done. i have filled it up 2 times now still working on getting the stand level.it is off enough that only one overflow will work.i got the stand and canopy stained today just waiting for it to dry.after i move it in to the house i will have to shim the stand to level it out.im hoping it is just the garage floor that is not level.that way i wont have to shim it to much

It won't be long till you get to enjoy the beauty of all this hard work. Good going Micaiah.

Well, I hope it is the garage floor too. I do believe most of the houses built actually had the driveways and the garages concrete slab poured with the intention of run off.
I am certainly no expert, but it's as good of a made up excuse as any.

Did you ever find out if the stand leans or if it's the garage? It's lookin' good!

 

[Underwaterparadise]

Looking good! I love that stand! You should put a frag tank on the lower half!

How much flow are running through the sump? It seems as though there would be a ton of flow with 4 return lines or are they also from a CL pump? I will have to go back and read and see what I missed all this time

 

[nova62]

well its in the house and it is level.but now i might have to move it my wife dosent know if she likes the wall that it is on.she is going to have my brothers wife come over and help her decide were it should go.

Tank looks great! When you are ready for corals, and know what you want to put it in it, I may have a few frags for you.
