Well i am moving my 55g into a 140g soon. Most the work is done just need to tie up some loose ends.
A CanReef member helped me with the plumbing. Without him it would most likely have been some flex tube and duct tape. Thanks Matt you really tought me alot about plumbing. I owe ya big time!.
This is my closed loop. 1 intake and 3 outlets. My return come in where the intake is so i have flow from all four corners of the tank. ball valves and unions were put where needed for cleaning and removal of parts.

Lighting:
The lighting is made up of 2x 250w MH with 10k bullbs and 1x 175w MH with 10k bulb. Also has 4 VHO with super actinic running off a icecap 660.
Tank by the way is 60x18x30 acrylic

All 4 ballast are enclosed in a fan cooled and wired case that site hbehind/beside the stand keeping all heat away from the tank. The case has a power switch for each set of lights as well. Green is for the MH and red is the VHO's

Thanks!!!
