[Paulairduck]

The tank is now set in place

Had to order a custom sump for the skimmer

was able to get a good deal on a RKE to control this Bad Boy

this build is slow motion

hopefully get time to post some pics

 

[Paulairduck]

well I got the electrical box to house the new RKE today, I will have to take it all apart and paint it white

[/IMG]

I wanted to keep this thing away from the moisture, My RKII had lots of issues with that problem

 

[Paulairduck]

here is my live rock curing station scored about 300 lbs

the dursos I made today 2 inch bulkheads reduced to 1 1/2

[Paulairduck]

The sump is going to done this week, than I can finish the plumbing and get the tank filled with water and checked for leaks

still debating on the return pump seriously thinking the Red Dragon II 170 watt return pump, would love to be able to raise and lower the flow to the tank.
