Dam thats clean. Good work!

 

[SWBeginer]

Nice little setup. The only cons I see is lack of room for an ATO container.

 

[79chopperdr]

[CLeadfootS]

Well, I had a little setback, I installed an in line Check Valve and apparently it was restricting the flow way back and it was trickling over to the return, so I cut it off and luckily I was able to use a lighter to melt it to make malleable enough to cut and peel off. I was able to preserve the pipe underneath to put a coupler on it. Phew!! lucky I didn't have to redo all the return. Wished I had used threaded fitting.

Dam rob I love it !

Finally wet! Landscape is pretty minimalistic. Consist of 1 Large piece of Dry Rock with 3 caves the forms bridges on top, and some dry rock in the back around the over flow. Going to lace Zoas around the bridges, Some yumas and dendros around the base, And larger Paly's around the edges. Already have some nice Hammers, a Fluorescent green toadstool, and torch, that's going in here as well.
Going to put easy to keep SPS in here and maybe only a few pieces.

Dang, that's looking great! Wouldn't expect anything less coming from you though!

 

[ThreeMoneyJ]

Looks great! How do you like that light over it? Mine has been cycling with just ambient light for the last 2 months. I haven't settled on a light yet.

Love the Kessils, it fills it up nicely.

 

[Diamond Jack]

Great job on the build! I also like the scape.

Rob -

I am debating on ordering the exact same tank. Can you tell me the part number of the 32mm to 1 inch and 15mm to 1/2 inch that you got from flexpvc .com?

Thanks
Minh

How do you like your skimmer?

Thanks Rob. I am also curious how the skimmer is working for you. Did you get the PLS-150?
