you can put sealers over the grout to stop the water. I find that ceramic tiles in a room can be slippery. they say that you can use the non stick floors with the sand grout in there. its suppose to work realyl well on salt water spills.

Stircrazy I gave you the wrong stuff once i get home i will get you the name , But i know it can be used around water just not as a floor like a shower

This high performance, pro-formula adhesive offers benefits to both the professional user and DIY customer. AcrylPro® spreads quickly and easily and offers extended open times for adjusting tile. It also provides higher bond strengths required for 12" x 12" (30 x 30 cm) ceramic floor tile installations and exceptional durability in wet areas. Offers maximum resistance to intermittent water exposure as defined by ANSI A136.1, Type I.

yup, epoxy grout. but you better be darn sure you like the color :wink:

totaly water proof, but you have to do it quickly and clean up excess quick as once it sets up it is a pain. this is what I used for my bar top as it won't stain, adsorbe water, ect.. by far the best solution for showers, counter tops ect.. but it does take a bit more faness to work with.. I layed out a 2X3 foot board with left over / off cut tiles which I mortered down and then practiced on that so I could get an idea of the working time and such.

yup and like I said you are doing a small area and as long as you wipe up spills quickly you'll be fine. I was going to use that stuff from HD originaly but the sales man steared me away from it.

That's gonna be purdy! Is the shelf on the far left not getting a door?

ya it is Brett the door is 15" and for some reason I made it 16" so need to make another one

I need some clarification on your overflow, how much of it flows threw your skimmer. It is hard to tell from the pics. I want to do an external skimmer on the 250, as well as 2 NextReef MR2's. That way I can keep the sump size down a little and have more room.

Also what is the flow rate of your return pump? Have been looking at lastlights pump he has for sale. And thinking of doing 8 - 1" returns after my 4way so they would alternate 4 on, 4 off.

Oh ya love the cabinet work looks awesome by the way:biggrin:

Tank and cabinetry is looking great Mike.
