Tank, Stand and sump

This 48x24x24 will have 2 Mak 4's running the show. One for the sump, That will enter the tank via two 3/4 Sea Swirls and one will be a closed loop with a Super Squirt. You can see 2 drains in the back for the closed loop. Each of the 3 strainers drain into 2 lines then to one pump this will cut down on the velocity of the water being sucked. 4 returns for this 2 centre at the back and 2 in the rocks. The ones in the rocks will be split with Loc Line. A 36gal sump with 2 100 micron bags. Why 2???? The flow will be split into 2 bags for ease of change. I figer one will have to be changed often but 2, 1/2 the time.

There is a Stockman pipe(Aquasilencer) in the over flow I take it out for a laugh it looks just like an Austin Powers ***** pump..... :razz:
You should have seen the neighbors faces...... :eek: :razz: :razz:

CHANGES.......

Finer sand
Use this rock as a base change to Figi or Tonga I think :rolleyes:

Fish........right now its a grave yard........I have blamed it on the canister
hence the change.......not cutting it to much work to keep up to it....

Well look at that - it just showed up at your house all by itself!! :cool:

Lookin good, buddy! :biggrin:

Looks great. :cool: Can't wait to see it in action.

There is an eerie ghost in the tank, though, who looks as if he's trying to take your picture. I hope you're OK with that :razz: (seems like a reasonably benign ghost .. perhaps a former paparazzi)

YUP...... :razz:

One thing I can tell you is that my WIFE dident ask for it......... :rofl:

To funny.....a ghost.......never noticed him.....Dam good looking one though..... :cool:

Hope he likes salt water.......... :razz:
