Well it was a long day on Monday but I did it. I still need to plumb up my two closed-loops and my other two halides but I'm glad it's just up and running!

Here's the pic in the Canreef photo gallery:

And here's my AE 30" beckett skimmer I made:

It was too big so I had to plumb it inline and beside the tank. It's run of a LG 4MD which I had lying around. Surprisingly it works really well. I'm not sure if it's the pressure rated version or not, I doesn't say on the decal.

Does anyone know if the motors are the same in the pressure rated/non-pressure rated versions and it's just using a different impeller? I've got a few of those kicking around in my junk box too. Maybe I should post pics?

Nothing under the sand but sand. That's just the light penatration limit, just shadows. :mrgreen:

Thanks though!

Jason,

Not sure about more fish. I think I need a center piece fish. Copperband or a nice tang maybe.

Joel,

I have two 1-1/2" drilled intakes in the back. Going to run a Mag 12 and Velocity T3 on each with plumbing comming up and over leading to 3/4" loc-line in the front corners.


I might leave the Maxi-Jets in there on the wavemaker bar. Definatly untill I hook up the closed-loops.

Thanks for the nice comments guys.

Yeah right. How many think we should run a bid on when Jack will do his next upgrade? I can see him thinking his 120 is small after a month. :lol:

Hey Jack, that is sure looking really good so far, can't wait til your frags grow too big for your tank, then you can sell it to me.

Jack,

I'm serios if you want him, I'm moving my tank this weekend to the new house. I can catch him then if you like. Problem is I'm flying to Seattle Monday so that doesn't leave us much time.
