Very nice,

I definatly heard the manly grunt, but i also predict to hear a womans banshee scream when the tank bottom lets go becuase you didnt use a ply wood sheet underneath it to even up the pressure on the bottom.

Sweet stuff though,Marc.

Womanly scream averted. Operation success.

UPDATE:

Replaced the Sequence Snapper with a Hydor SELTZ L45. It rocks. Makes Mag-Drives look like wimps.

Here's a quick review I snatched from a PC cooling site:

http://www.systemcooling.com/hydor_l30ii-01.html

Okay, read that, imagine the article's about the L45 and imagine that I wrote it. I know, you all want one now. Quickly, head out, replace that crappy old Mag-Drive with one of these. You'll thank me.

Oh yeah, just a quick comparison between a few popular pumps from this flow range:

Hydor L45
Max Flow 925 gph
Power Consumption 50 watts
Max Head 8' 8"
Price $100.00

Eheim 1262
Max Flow 900gph
Power Consumption 80 watts
Max Head 11' 6"
Price $175.00

Mag-Drive 9.5
Max Flow 950 gph
Power Consumption 93 watts
Max Head 14'
Price $110.00

Sedra 9000
Max Flow 900 gph
Power Consumption 90 watts
Max Head 17'
Price $110.00

People will do anything to cool down their PCs. As evidenced by me, who once put his laptop in the freezer because the cooling fan was broken....and then fell asleep....for three hours.

Seriously people, learn from my mistakes LOL

Which is all besides the point. Let's stay on topic here guys - EVERYONE GO OUT AND BUY A SELTZ. They are ub3r x 5000 vs Mag-Drives and other similar pumps.

Today's updates:

- Filled the tank with RO/DI water.

- Added Ocean Pure Pro salt to 1.025.

- Filled up the Zeovit reactor.

- Filled the Phosban reactor with Silicarb.

- Tossed on a Profilux controller.

- Jacked the 2' HOT5 display unit from the store and rigged it over the top of the tank using some Aquactinics riser brackets.

I'll play with the controller over the course of the week.

Harry Potter kills everyone with an Uzi.

You're welcome.
