			 Well as has been stated I got two MAK4's to replace my mag 12's.. I am real impressed as I am getting about twice the flow on my return, but they are way to loud to be in my movie watching room  
		
	
		
		
		
		
			so I did some plumbing and have the return pump mounted on the other sideof the wall now. this pic is the inside of the stand whare the pump used to be ![]() this is the other side of the wall whare both the return and skimmer pump will end up ![]() If they are still to loud at least I can build a sound proof box around them in this location.

			 nicely done Steve...    but one question...    dose the wife know that you are taking over yet another area, and drilling holes in the wall   
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	looks good though... i would love to relocate my sump to another room... but i do not think i can convince any one here drilling hole in the wall is a good idea.  |

			 Mak4 arent loud, I can barely hear mine, I put them on a 1" foam pad the one they use for soundproof, it cuts the virations of the pump.

 the major problem is that the tank is in my room with my dolby digital 6.1 set up and my 50" TV so I like absolute quiet so I can hear my movies Steve

			 well just to show that the external stuff wasn't the only thing that got reworked.  
		
	
		
		
		
		
			here is the new return system, I have 6 outlets at various hights, the longer ones will be behind the rock work. ![]() and this is the new overflow installed with dual dursos installed and a temparary (maybe permanant screen to keep fishies out. ![]() this is just like getting a new tank.. once again I am building and it is like christmas Steve

			 well both Mak4's are in the garage now and there is still a hum.  I was running just the return and there was no hum but when the MAK4 has to work to drive a skimmer it gets louder, so I will be insulating the space they are in to make it even more quiet but it is hardly a problem now. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
			![]() this is now the back of the tank befor I added the SPS (the power head is temporary.. not there anymore) ![]() the end ![]() and the front with only some LPS in temp locations ![]() and here is the front after my inital aquascaping. ![]() still waiting for water to clear but it is getting there. oh a sad point I did have a few casulities with the move. I lost my flam angel, my midas blennie, my lawnmower blennie (maybe.. might be hiding in a rock) I did think I lost my clam but I found him burried unser the sand so I hope he will make it as he was burried for 3 days Steve
