It's Alive!!!
Fired this bad boy up last weekend. Made some tweaks to the plumbing and hung the lights last night. All params are zero(ish). There's currently 1 blue legged hermit crab and a hitchiker crab residing in the tide pool.

Lights consists of two 6 bulb 48" Tek T5 fixtures. Bulb selection is:
Back to front Hamilton Tech - Actinic (420nm) KZ Coral Light New Gen (15K) KZ Fuji Purple KZ Coral Light (10K) KZ Coral Light New Gen (15K) KZ Superblue (22K) KZ Superblue (22K) KZ Coral Light New Gen (15K) KZ Coral Light (10K) KZ Fuji Purple KZ Coral Light New Gen (15K) Hamilton Tech - Actinic (420nm). and it looks something like this..  I have it hung pretty high right now to work in the tank but will lower it a few more inches once I'm done.

haha, agreed :-) My location choice for that return was definitely flawed on this build! The return box will cover with coraline or I'll build a mountain to cover it, but ya.. that return line is fugly!! I'm thinking about just covering the whole thing up, removing that pipe and plumbing the return in the back of the tank and over the lip instead... if I can be bothered. That or I'll get the GSP to grow over it
 Oh.. I guess I have that 1" line in the over flow box that's just capped off right now not doing anything. I should just use that as a return instead. Last edited by kien; 02-11-2010 at 07:32 AM.

anyway, I'm just happy it is holding water at this point. I was half expecting it to just fall apart and dump everything onto the floor over night.
