My other question was where did you get the cone shaped fitting for the two inch pick up line in your tank. Tank looks awesome by the way!
Feel free to copy the closed loop idea. I plugged off two of the outlets to get more velocity of flow. I plugged one outlet on each of the back two branches.

The 2" intake strainer came from premium aquatics I think.

Thanks.

Snapper is doing great. I still have the Mag 3 in there for the sump, working fine. I don't like a lot of flow through my sump.

Just a general update. The tank is hanging in there despite the fact that I've ignored it for quite a while while I'm finishing off the basement. I don't want to try to keep it perfect while I have all the dust, debris and fumes during the basement construction.

Once I'm done with most of the basement, I'll get it nice and cleaned up and keep it that way.

The equipment is all working great, but I had a mystery problem a few months back that wiped out a good amount of my fish and created a lot of algae. It has since subsided, but I don't want to clean it up totally until I get the basement done over the next month or so.

Cheers to all my fellow 90gr's

Dan

I should post some pics, but it may be a while. Sorry. I'll try to get some when I get it all cleaned up and back in shape after the basement is finished...
