I thought I had acknowledged all the help I had but I must of forgotten.

The gang from Hidden Reef who delivered the tank were amazing. Mike the owner, Dan the muscles and logistics, and Marc the driller and overflow builder. John AKA Willow was also a great help getting the tank in the house. Showing up just in time to ensure it was all perfect was Ivy and Callum. With there reassurances all was good.:)
It actually was a lot less painful than first anticipated. Once we decided to use a dolly C brought from work.. Thanks again all, I own you big time

Sorry It's been a long time since I've posted on my Tank. Well here is the lates addition
I've been planning a few modifications to my fish room as of late and this week end I was finally able to have the time to get them going.
First I moved the Chiller into a window and plumbed it all in. Then I added a frag tank. A little 30G. I went with T5 lighting for the frag tank so I'm anxious to see if my coral can hold it's colour.
I will be putting egg crate racking in as well.

There are some pics

NEat. How come the T5's are so high? Man I'd have them like 6"-8" off the surface or even less.

1" piping on the standpipes or larger? Reason I ask is, I tried 1" on my 65g (same external-Durso standpipe configuration as you've got there) and it was not able to keep up to a mag3 (well OK it kept up, but only barely) so I stepped it up to 1.5". It seemed as if the extra lateral distance was the problem. Mind you I see you have 2 so that probably explains why it works for you.. What kind of flowrate you got going through the frag tank (what pump feeds it)?

Very nice Jason - great growth on some of those corals. Are you still using the complete zeo system?

Jason McK

Sorry Tony, I didn't get a notification of your reply. I am using 1" and I'm not sure what the exact flow is. I just "T"ed off from my sequence hammerhead return
