is this going to be at your house or at the store? If it is at the store I will stop by this week and see how your doing.

So here it is a 76 x 24 x 25 built buy H20 Aquarium.(Formely Sea star). I mapped out on paper how I'm going to set up the feed and the drains went and bought all the fittings and thats as far as I got today, Here is also a pic of our 100 gallon that we transfered down from our Nanaimo location it suffered global warming( chiller not turned on) on its first day in Victoria, the only thing that survived was the Marron Clown fish, hermit crabs and all the stuff living in the sand, it got up to 96 degrees when we came in the next day. We stabilized the tank and added in some new fish and some frags. the Coraline that all turned white is coming back real good now and its only been 4 weeks. I welcome any questions and advice. I'm hoping not to make to many mistakes setting up the new tank but some times its the only way I can learn anything. Cost of education can sometimes be high.

The first thing you have to do is unhook that canister filter and give it to me for my fresh water tank looks good, I'll try to get in this week and see it in person, I am in the middle of a hockey tourney so not sure of my timeings yet.

Today, I removed the sump and drove it back over to H20 Aquarium>I Had them increase the size of the pump intake hole to 1.5 inch to better accommodate the sequence dart Pump. They did it free of charge, even though it was my fault for not specifying the size,(thanks guys!)I also had to take a trip back to the Irrigation place to change over some fittings, changed my mind a bit on the plumbing.
I had a customer today who had to have my Protein skimmer, so I sold it It was a Pacific coast PS3000. I got few more models coming in so Ill have it replaced soon enough.

Today I finished plumbing the drains I used spa flex on the drain ends so I can easy access them for putting on filter bags. I started the manifold for the supply, it will accommodate loc-line outlets. I am coming out of the pump at 1 1/2 inch's and then going though a Y fitting and into two 1
inch spa flex into the manifold then 3/4 lockline outlets. thats it till Monday.
