The Chronicles of my 250g Cube (190g display)

I'll post more pictures of the plumbing tomorrow, what you see there is the sequence dart on the closed loop, that some serious flow :D, I will probably add some seio 1500's as well. I also got a chance to do the durso standpipe and the gatevalve mod for the skimmer, not to mention I cut my hand about 4 times with the PVC cutter :(. well I'll keep them coming
 
The tank looks great, are the 2 bulkheads drains in the rear corners? How hard was it to plum the Dart for the closed loop? My tank is being picked up this thursday and being remade to correct some sloppy seams. So more time to sit and wait :(
But I will be watching yours for ideas :)
 
yes the 2 BH's are 1.5" drains for the dart, and hard is not the word in was a PITA! cubes are not fun to plumb, you have an extra 8" though I'm not sure if you have a dedicated fishroom or not, but if you do, lucky you, now I know why these guys have fishrooms, well I don't have the space, I'm working on a budget, plus I have limited space. anyway that was a fresh water test and I already drained it, I have a couple of tiny leaks through the thread PVC on the dart. not enough teflon tape I guess, I will fix all of that tomorrow, and try it again, hopefully no more leaks.

well I haven't done much, I redid some of the plumbing (had some drips) and used mostly spa-flex, also got the wood trims on and drains.
enjoy

I know I was thrilled when he told me, to me it's like going to a steakhouse and ordering a burger, but when the cook see's they're all out of burgers he says, "send him this 24oz rib eye instead" :D
