very nice set up... how long is the tank been up and running?
that aquascaping is super sweeet.

 

[Manta]

Thanx again, Salt the set up has now been running for almost 10 weeks.

 

[MIKEMARTIN]

beautiful tank!!! I'm jealous!!!

 

[Ginzo]

Is the skimmer hooked up to one of the overflows..can't see clearly if it is ?

 

[Manta]

Nope, its fed form an Eheim in the sump, only one of the corner boxes is an overflow, the other is for the closed loop.

 

[Bax]

That's a clean set up saaaweet!

 

[Manta]

Appreciated Bax

Nice tank how quiet is everything under the tank

 

[Manta]

With the cabinet doors open and my head inside - like a swarm of bees slurping on juice. Closed, a slight trickle and an audible hummmmmmmm........
(The Deltec pumps are much quieter than the Eheims btw)

 

[corivus]

looking to do something like that with my 60 gallon, the bommies seem to be a pretty good idea, it'd keep my lr off the acrylic and keep me from worrying about scratching but still superb setup, I hope I get to join the large tank group soon...

 

[invincible569]

Nice setup!!

 

[Manta]

Thanx for comments guys, Corivus it is a good idea and well worth doing, at the time a real pita cutting the acrylic but looking back, quite literally a snap.
