Levi acutally, Devan my brother is also on here.

Great looking tank! Can't wait to see it full.

Oops, sorry! I couldn't quite remember it.

Oh lala! I put water and rock in it! The overflow is running. This is just a teaser post though because I left my camera cord at camp so I can't upload from my camera to my laptop! :doh:

I'm not happy with the overflow...the water level in the tank is too high. I'm going to try a smaller pump since the overflow is only 3 1/2" wide - currently have a MaxiJet 1200 running the overflow. I'm hoping a smaller pump will lower the water level enough. It is currently only about 1/2" from the top of the glass. I would prefer it to be about 3/4". The MaxiJet 1200 is about 295 gph, so that is like 15x turnover through the sump. I have a MJ900 (230 gph), a MJ600 (160 gph), or a MJ400 (106 gph) I can try.

I also bought a Hagen Glo 2x24w T5HO fixture for the tank. I don't have any bulbs for it yet so I stole the lights off my quarantine tank to take pics. I will pick up T5s next time I come back to Saskatoon. I ordered a UVL 454 and a UVL Super Actinic from The Reef Shoppe.

I'm thinking I might put seahorses in the tank...not sure yet. I would like to catch the Blue Assessor out of my reef, and put it in this tank, but I can't catch it.

Glad to have you back from camp. Looking forward to pics on how this is going!

That sucks that you forgot the camera cord, looking forward to pic.'s when you get it back. Hopefully you can get the overflow under control and get the water level to were you like it.

Also it was very nice to meet you at Blue World when you where here a week (or so) ago. I enjoyed chatting with you :biggrin:

Cool tank. I've got about a thousand camera cords if you want one, provided it's just the mini usb type.

Hey thanks for the offer Steve, but I'm headed back to camp in a few hours. I do have a second cord somewhere, but I can't find it. I might have thrown it out thinking, "What do I need two of them for?" :lol:

Hey Mark, it's nice to be home, even if it's only for a few days. I got done early on Friday morning, so I took advantage and snuck home for the weekend.

Ya, Laurie that was great to meet you and chat for what...2 hours? :biggrin:

----------------------------------------------

Well, I put an MJ600 for the return, and it did lower the water line by a couple millimeters, but not enough. I'm going to take the eggcrate out, cut off the bottom trim of it, and glue it back in. That should give me another couple millimeters. :D I need to raise the media rack too since the floss is floating. Grrr.

Ya it was around that, I do tend to talk a lot :lol:

So any news on this tank?
