Thanks! I'll call Red Coral today for sure. I know when I was actually looking for lockline I called RC, Kevin said that he had ordered a tonne of it. So i'll bet you'll have some soon anyways. The other LocLine's are all installed. I'll post some pics later. They look great! Love that stuff... just wish it wasn't so expensive. All that LocLine ran me $130! But I guess after $350 worth of plumbing, thats just the icing on the cake.

Yeah I really like the sump layout. The fuge idea is awesome, and there is a tonnes of free space for skimmers and media. I also have a pretty neat idea for eggcrate media racks inside the sump, just to keep everything organized. We'll see how that turns out.
