[agv180]

very nice and very good aquarium assembly, congratulations!!

few eductors have?
which is the measure of the pipe eductors, to measure exiting the pump and reduces as for coupling with the eductors?
as you've done with the pond pump?

Had a steel stand custom made by Paul. I can't emphasize enough on the quality of this stand. The powder coated finish makes it looks 10x better in person. I highly recommend hitting Paul up if you need a stand done. Not only is his product top notch, but he is an awesome guy to work with.

The stand is 60"x24"x40"
1.5 inch steel tubing
White Powdercoat finish

Who is Paul? How do I get in touch with him? Is he local to Sacramento Area? I am in Roseville and need a new stand...

He built me 3 steel stands. You won't be disappointed with the quality of work put in the stand and reasonably priced.

Ryan, you got PM. Paul is a great guy to work with.

Appreciate it...I will give him a call. I found your build thread through the 'minimalist aquascaping' topic. Been on here for years snooping around and never knew there was a whole sacto area club on here. Pretty cool...

I'm having a difficult time deciding what I like more... Your reef system or that sick black truck!

Haha... thanks. Here's another shot of the front of the truck:

Hello amazing tank!

I was wondering how you added the drip tubes to the fitting on the dosing container. I just ordered one and want to go ahead and pick up the fitting if needed while I am waiting.

Thanks for the time!

Hahaha... I somehow knew you were going to say that.

Look on Bulkreefsupply and search for "Bubble Magus Tube Holder Bracket." That's what I ordered.

The only thing you may want to consider if you buy that bracket is that it will not fit on trimmed tanks without modifications. For example, if you have a 40 gal breeder with a plastic trim, you may have to cut the plastic a bit for it to fit. I have mine hanging on one of my baffles.

Hmm I have a tube holder for the drip end it looks like that is what you pointed me too....I was wondering how the tubing attaches to the dosing container it looks like it has a fitting of some sort on the top of each compartment? Thanks again!

Oh! Sorry I misunderstood your question. Yes the container does have a fitting that is on the top of each chamber. All I did was shove the silicone hose into it and it started working. It's almost like a push connect fitting.

I'll try to take pictures of it. Sorry everyone for the lack of updates. Real life is kicking in right now so I haven't had the free time to post updated pictures.

No worries I appreciate you taking the time no need for the pics I think I follow. Love your tank looks awesome! Thanks again!

Here are some quick photos from last night. Again, sorry for the cell pics. Still haven't picked up my camera from my parent's house yet.

I'm still moving all of the corals around because everything still seems to get bleached even though my lights are about 2.5 ft above the tank! Things are starting to color up again now that I turned off two of my T-5 bulbs. I didn't realize how strong this fixture was.
