Rebecca: While you are still planning your return pumps, you should check on the maximum flow the SeaSwirls are designed to take. I thought it was only 600 to 800 gph which is less than you are planning right now. You also seem to have some pretty strong pumps all pulling water from your sump area so you need to be very sure you can keep the same amount of water flowing into the sump so it doesn't get pumped dry. Last thought is to check on the maximum recommended flow rate through your chiller as they vary by manufacturer. Mine is an AquaMedic 1/2 hp and it's recommended max flow rate is only 500 gph so the pump you are planning on would be too much for it.
Joseph: Congratulations on TOTM - I knew it was only a matter of time. But, man, this thread is long enough and now it's going to get even more traffic!!!!! Seriously though, very well deserved!! Mickey |

I made it home tonight to catch the lights going down and took a series of photos at different stages. Sort of a manual time-lapse. Then, I added to this the same photos but in reverse order. This gives a pretty good representation of my lights in both cycles. Aren't digital cameras and computers great?

I like how you keep the back panel ultra clean. I think that this something that is largely overlooked in this hobby as most tanks you see are covered in coraline on the back. Clean black background just looks so sweet.

Joseph-
I'm being redundant here, but I must thank you for taking the time to detail your reef on this post. This has been the single most interesting, inspiring and downright jaw dropping post I have ever read at RC. I am not kidding when I say it may be the most enjoyable read of a chronology of events I've ever digested. Simply awesome. Congrats on TOTM. Please keep the updates coming. |

NexDog: Yes, I obviously feel the same regarding keeping the back glass clean. Not only does it give a more "natural" look, it also makes the corals and fish "pop" visually when viewing the tank. While it is easier to do on this tank with its back accessible, I also did the same on my old 65-gallon which was positioned against a wall. It just doesn't take much time to do and the rewards are great. Thanks.
Edveder9: Thanks and glad you like it. McGinnis: Thank you very much. 89GTA: I'm pleased you have enjoyed your read and it's been my pleasure. Thanks for the kind words. Joseph |

Here's a couple shots I took today. That's pretty much it. Here they are.   Joseph |

Your thread/tank is amazing...
TOTM was well deserved and long overdue! Oh by the way; I had just convinced my wife that once we buy another place, that I would put "our" new tank in the garage (built in so it could be seen in the living room). Then I showed her the picture below, which is of the back of your tank. Her response was a long pause, and a rather confused facial expression, and she said "do you really need all of that?". Quote:

might as well be, as addictive as this hobby is...
However, all the meth heads I've seen (after arresting), dont look nearly as satisfied with their hobby.  Nick

jarhed: Thanks.
NexDog: Actually, crayon. I'm getting better. NeilsReef: Thanks for the kind words. Let your wife know that you only need all of this if you want to keep fish. Corals require twice as much. capt. insano, maxxII & Marc: Agreed. A few more shots...
