Like the aquascaping but it sorta looks like some elongated rock poodle monster or two poodles getting "acquainted". Sorry, its late & my mind may not be all there.

Hahahaha I can actually see where you are coming from. I assure you that it is not quite as "poodleish" in person!

Tank got wet today! Did a freshwater fill and leak test today. I had a small leak on the overflow bulkhead but once I got that tightened up I had no other issues or surprises
With a little tuning, the Herbie overflow is exactly as promised..completely SILENT! All you can hear is the hum of the Eheim return pump!

Water is still very cloudy but here are a few shots(excuse the lights in the reflection)..










Still to do list:
-Drill holes in the return loc-line as a syphon break during a power outage
-Purchase and set up Neptune Apex Lite
-Receive JBJ Auto Top-Off system in the mail and set up
-Purchase and install some fans into the side of the stand
-Purchase Ecotech Vortech MP40es
-Purchase and set up Phosban 150s for GFO&Carbon
-Purchase lights (Vega or Sol...)
(LOTS OF PURCHASES!!)

Thanks! Only thing I think im going to change is I am going to add more pipe to the teed of line going to the refugium as it seems like the water that is coming out of the line flows directly back into the return chamber.. i think i need more mixing.

Alright so things are moving super slowly because of my limitations with my high TDS water that I explained earlier. It is taking me forever to make enough RO/DI water to fill the tank
A few things I have done in the past little while:

- I received the JBJ Auto Top-Off system in the mail





- Made a mesh screen top for the tank to keep fish from going carpet surfing



- Received 2 AC fans for the stand but I screwed up and they didn't come with any cords!! Going to have to pick some cords and plugs from The Source or somewhere.. anyone know where I can plugs/cords for these fans?
