I'm going to use the 2 150w halides off my 60 for the middle and I got 2 pano pros for the ends and I got 2 all blue panos for my supplement lighting

Sweet!

what sized sand grain did you choose? looks smaller.

also where did u get the rocks

 

[briankmarsh1980]

Sand is seaflor special grade 1-2 mm grain I think
live rock was shipped in from the Fiji islands 200lbs. got the dry rock online

 

[Kluver]

Nice. Anyway of taking another picture of the return area? Are you using a filter sock or is it just dumping into the sump?

 

[briankmarsh1980]

Sure I can take more this afternoon. I am using filter socks. in the pic above that is the drain going into my adjustable filter sock holder (the black thing)

How did they do your overflow. It looks like its in the corner. Was that the way you wanted it. I'm looking at doing the same thing here soon.

the overflow is in the middle with enough room on each side to fit an mp 40
