Coralgurls tank build 180 - it's ALIVE

[Coralgurl]

We just have to add the return lines in the tank then finish filling. I got the skimmer in the sump but I'm already thinking it needs to upgraded, but will give it a shot to start.

Your height of your return line outlets will also determine how much water flows back in the sump during a power outage. I like the locline, that way you can adust the height to where you want it.

It's alive!! Finally have pump and skimmer going. Needs a couple more hours to fill, but have enough water to move through the sump. Just need to fill the over flows a bit more, sounds like a bathtub draining..lol. Added a bit more salt. Cant wait to get the lights on it to see how it all looks, but so far i think its not too shabby!! Thanks for all the help so far! Will add shrimp later tonight to kick start cycle!
