Good luck with it and don't forget to croos out the 28 at the bottom unless your keeping it

Yeah I'm really looking forward to having a sump/skimmer again and the ability to grow sticks. Some can grow them nicely in nanos without skimmers but I've had no such luck. I'll be putting the sump on an elevated rack next to the 404 laundry tub. A really squat stand and an elevated basement sump should mean my head losses won't be too bad at all.

As for crossing out the 28... can't do that until she's empty lol.

Lets talk lighting - 1 400W or 250W Radium supplemented with t5's or are you doing the LED thing like a Mitras?

Single black Mitras. Never even seen one before but I can do that when it finally arrives Sounds like that could be a month or more. It's got as little disco as you can get and the spread that a canon styled pendant can't give you. If my tank had been shallower I'd consider a 2x2 grid of the Kessil a150 I already have but I'd like the ability to tune the colours a bit too. I've come to want just a touch more blue.

Nice job on the stand

We all knew you couldn't stick with a tank you could lift when full by yourself

Well I have the sump but no room to setup the damn thing lol. The 404 and its sump are hogging up a great deal of my basement! Return pump and skimmer are back ordered so yell at Denny if you want lol.

Aha there's a method to the madness maybe? I'm glad someone thinks so. My condition baffles me more than anyone trust me

Good to see you are going to be back on the SPS bandwagon shortly. Nice job on the stand. You always seem to be able to pull off very modern and elegant looking stands but I guess you've had some serious practice by now!
