Man that has to be the best looking stand in town where did you get so I can get one. LOL just kidding.
Tanks looks pretty good. I like the 45 degree pvc for water direction.
What are the dimension of the tank?

About the only think I see I might look at changing is the rock work. I may be wrong you can never tell from 2D pics but it looks pretty tightly packed together. If it is you may want to open up the rock strucher a little more for water flow through and places for fish to swim in out of

The stand is a home depot 2x4 special, LOl it will be drywalled in I just haven't gotten to it yet. The tank is 48.5L x 18D x 26H. I'd like to open the rock work up more but I'm trying to cover the overflow box, not to mention its hard to work with such a shallow tank. It's only about 12 inches from the overflow to the front glass.

Looks good stranger. How ya been? I've been insanely busy the last 3 weeks. I'm back on Thursday, are you around?

BTW - do you have an extra submersible pump that can do 900 gph? Like one of those Q1 pumps you were going to buy? I need one for my skimmer. Otherwise I'll order from the good Dr F&S.

Dave, Dave who?

Whats going on man, hope all is going well, I figured you were swamped with the new job and all. That or you just don't like me anymore *SNiff*. Yea I'll be around on Thurs. The only extra pump I have is that via aqua, does pretty good and your more than welcome to it. I need to order a new reflector for my canopy if you want to jump on, it will be from marine depot, thats where I bought all my Q1 pumps

Later

Yeah that would be killer - which Via Aqua is it? I was thinking of buying the 4900 as a sump return and moving the Mag 9 to my skimmer.

Hey you can get the reflector at Lowes/Home Depot. Look for them in the pre hung doors, under solar tubes. Very nice stuff....at least check it out, don't think you will be disappointed. BTW it's $36-42 for a large tube of it(enough for 4 reflectors!!) Blue
