no problem doc, will post up soon just waiting on the keep equipment like tank, haha... just ordered litermeter 3 and man this is awesome piece of hardware, i wanted to put 300gal in the same place but i figure once i did that i will later upgrade and that was the last thing i wanted to do was to tear down a mature tank. who says this hobby was cheap, and i should have stuck with deep sea fishing lol

Hey Doc....the rockwork looks awesome and it's going to look amazing once the tank and all your awesome corals are glowing away in there.

That's hilarious about your son....looks like something my dad would put me up to :)

Stoneyscoral 03/08/2007 04:33 PM

You might find this entertaining...I thought our builds were headed toward identical until your rockwork went over the entire wall! Looks good.

My $.02...I've had a lot of trouble getting the threaded fittings on the OM 4 ways to seal nicely. I have lots of threaded joints. The only one's I'm having trouble with are the OM 4 ways.

I'm concerned that three darts isn't enough flow...it looks like I'll find out before you!

quy_nquyen 03/09/2007 01:14 AM

cbui2 03/09/2007 02:09 AM
