Not a typical doctor's waiting room... 450 gallon reef

What type, brand of heater is that? Is it good for SW of only FW?

Thanks

Hydor Inline 300w heater, good for either.

I'm looking for something for my 345. I'll check it out.

Yesterday we built a "control panel" to try to conseal some of the wiring in this system. It measures 16w x 48tall x 6" deep, and it will conseal an RK2, wavebox, wb extension, osmolator, and possibly some milwakee controller in the future.

Thanks, that means a lot. We will continue to try to build cool stuff and keep the eye candy flowing.

P.S. How do you like your Finnex tank? i just got some finnex lights and they are really well designed, and inexpensive.

I like the tank except for the filtration and the skimmer... im sure the tank would have been fine left un modded but I added a second pump.... I'm having bubble issues! Skimmer doesn't work that great too... lights are working wonderfully tho!

Finished the control panel. I absolutely love tunze pumps, but with the transformer, driver, and controller times 2 or 3 pumps, thats just a ton of wire. This way everything is concealed.

John and I also finished plumbing in the Deltec 902. The tank and sump are now full of water and tropic marin salt. We also added a couple hundred lbs of Caribsea live sand because we are too lazy, and hate rinsing sand. Once the dust clears in the morning, we will plumb the reservoir and add live rock.

For those interested, we tried 60 pounds of Caribsea's latest sand (and I can't remember what it was called). It's not wet in the traditional sense but damp and came with a "bio-activator packet."

When the dust clears, we'll see if I like it.

As soon as you make an appointment and pay your copay/deductable! :lol: If you don't have kids (he's a pediatrician) just tell them you're a kid at heart!

Just for the record, I'm not a pediatrician.

Today's the office move-in party, and I'm heading over there to see all of this for the first time since I photographed the empty tank and sump.

We worked on the tank all day today and pics will be forthcoming.
