I would just wait. When you are ready the lfs will order you one. I go to my lfs all the time and just tell him what I want and he gets it. No big deal.

I don't know if you changed this but that gray drain hose to your sump had a dip in it. You may want to either fix the hose up so it is a steady drop to your sump or shorten it. Any dips will restrict your flow.

I purchased a 90 RR AGA and I'm in the process of building the sump. My original plan was to have bioballs in it, but after hearing that they aren't good for corals, i'm unsure about them. What would be an alternative to have, just live rock in the area where the bioballs are supposed to go? Thanks

Proud of you Timmy. Tank looks sweet, you're on your way. Now take your time, no no no black tang, he would die this soon. Wait it out, we'll find you one.

Two things I would do:

1) Plumb a refugium back to the room with the chiller. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...8117&rd=1&rd=1
You have to assemble it but I'm happy with mine.

2) Spend some money on a decent skimmer. IMO skimmers are the worst thing to skimp on!
