Dudester, Are you planning to use any Red Dragon pumps in your setup? I read your entire thread and didn't notice if you were.

Yes, I'm going with the 6.5 for my sump return pump. I wanted something that was nearly bullet proof, as I'm sick and tired of cleaning out my Mag pumps in my current 30g setup. They seize regularly because I don't do scheduled maintenance on them. I've read about people running Red Dragons for over a year without cleaning, and when they are taken apart they're still clean inside. Now that's a pump. But since I haven't mentioned it yet in my thread, it'll just be our secret

I am currently running an Iwaki MD100RLT for my return pump and have not had any problems with it. I had the same pump installed in my last tank for over 2 years and I never cleaned it once. When I setup my current tank I decided to clean it since I already had it disconnected. To my surprise when I disassembled it there was no sign of wear or any buildup. All the parts looked completely new. I am very pleased with this pump compared to some of the other pumps I have used in the past. I personally think that a Japanese made Iwaki pump should outlast any home aquarium.

That's quite a nice testament to their performance. I may look into that pump in the future.

I was originally going to buy a pair of blue throat trigger too but then one day my LFS had a pair of crosshatch that I couldn’t pass up. They were a good price so I figured what the hell. On the way home I called my wife and asked her “Do you love me?” She knows that means I spent way too much at the fish store. |

A close friend’s father is a cabinet maker and I hired him to build a custom cabinet for my fish tank. We went over the details on what I am looking for so he just ordered the wood and the doors. I can’t wait to see my tank with solid oak cabinetry. He didn’t give me a time table but the doors should take about 4 weeks so I am hoping that it should be done in 2 months.

Very nice build. Glad too see I am not the only person too close the valves and fill the tank prior too finishing the plumbing...and have the tank full of livestock before finishing the stand (well, I am not too that point yet but will be in the next day or two)
