Wait! Wait! Wait! You mean there is such a thing as CLEAN plumbing? :lol: Does the clear stuff also burn your nose hairs and make you feel a bit light headed?

Oh yeahhhhhhhh. :lol:

Lance, my understanding is that the clear stuff is the required bonder because it has some flex/give to it, but the grey stuff will still bond it. I like to use the clear stuff even on rigid plumbing because of the clean look you get out of it (the purple primer makes such a mess of things). I dunno it's what I've always done, one of those things that "someone told it was fine" and I've believed it ever since. :lol:

When I end up having to upgrade my tank to fit the growing school of tangs, I will probably be looking at a tank of the same dimensions. 72" x 30" x 30". I'd have to remove the door frame but if I have to do that, then it'll be worth it. What a huge thread Tony.

I am glad that your wave box will work for you. When are you putting rock in that bad boy?

Yeah fo' whizzle! :lol:

Tinkered around with flow settings tonight, here's a bit of a preview.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUJXrlsf9U4

The sump return comes out 4 nozzles placed along the Calfo manifold. 3 on the right pointing left, 1 on the left pointing down. The idea I had here was to create a vertical gyre that sweeps towards the overflow.

The two 6080's in the middle on Wavysea's sweeping left and right, at different speeds so that sometimes they're in sync and sometimes they're not.

Two waveboxes on the left.

Last but not least (and unfortunately not shown) there are 2 6100's positioned one left and pointing right and back, and the other one right and pointing left and forward - these are on the controller so alternating between 100% and 10% about once a minute.

The back room is a terrible clusterfrack of wires and I have my work cut out for me the next day or two getting that all cleaned up. Next up I need to get the heater on there and the Ranco and then I'm dumping salt and working on rocks!
