Holy cow Dez,

I didn't actually think you were serious this time around!

We should call Rich, Russ and Ryan out and have the old gang get together again!

I had those holes drilled 15 mins after I called you man! Now for the last hole. Any comments anyone on a closed loop with returns (say 3 of them) through the bottom of the tank. Anybody have closed loops through the bottom now and regret it? Anybody have leaks? What would you do different? etc...

I'm thinking about doing a closed loop through the bottom, but am unsure at this point. I'll have lots of room under the tank as the sump will be in the basement.

Comments will be appreciated.

You can edit the size of your pictures on Photobucket. edit images - resize

I wouldnt drill the bottom for a closed loop - a bit what if factor.

Besides, closed loops are old school too.

(Maybe not.)

Good luck with the build.

I just spent the last hour skimming through all of the pictures and many of the comments in this thread. I cant believe its less than a year old! Very epic.

Tank is looking great Dez... I HAD a McCoskers in my tank, but I'm pretty sure my 6line stressed him to death.. He's been MIA for over a month now.. Sorry to hear about your Leopard.

Corals are looking awesome too!

That is pretty much the consences on all tanks that I have seen in person. Carmen's, sharuq1, globaldesigns and coleus's tanks all look so much better in person.
