I got these from a Canreef member for a good price, so I'll try these out first, if I don't like them, then I'll go with Tunze Turbelle Stream II Controllable Pump - Model 6205 that will be controlled by the Apex.

All the plumbing parts are schedule 80 from Bulk Reef Supply, I have some more plumbing parts coming in the next couple of days, so I can do my plumbing build, majority is threaded so everthing can come apart, if neccesary, with minimal pieces glued. I will end up with extra pieces, which is going into my 90 gallon build. I will posting my 90 gallon QT build after the 187 gallon begins the cycle.

I'm jealous of all the sch. 80 plumbing.

Going to look awesome once everything is together. What are your full plans with the extra counter space?

[scubadawg]

This is the space where the tank will go



Steel Stand made by Grizz



Ikea Countertop siliconed to the stand





Tank set in place



Tank is sitting on 4 sample pieces of Formica in each corner instead of foam, bottom glass is free floating in center of tank



Waiting for a Bulk Reef Supply order for more plumbing parts, then I will post photos of the plumbling assembly
