Update.
Finished the plenum and some of the plumbing. I need to take the Ocean Motion off of my other tank still, but that will be a bit later. I did put in some water and rock from my other tanks to get things moving along.
I also bought one of those Speedwaves for my return pump. I was going to run my Dart but I will keep that as a back up for my other tank now.
Some pictures of the progress.:smile:

You got me...I thought there was going to be a sandbed on the ''upper" level. On the edge of my seat guessing where this goes...

You have a great system there, Good job, Just wondering what's wrong with the yellow tang he looks really ruff.

Marlin65 08-15-2013 03:33 PM

They gave him to me at J&L as someone had brought him in. He was beaten on by other fish and was almost dead when I got him. He is healthy now though but his fins need to grow back. I am wondering if that will ever happen had him for well over three months now. Who knows he might always look like that. :wink: He will then be called my ugly child.:smile:
