Look great so far!

What are you using for water flow?

[Dreadful]

It's a speedwave dc pump (1320gph) with the adjustable flow as recommended by paul at oceanic corals where I get a lot of my stuff

He talked me out of using a Tetra pump which I had gotten a good deal on from work. I'm still using a 450gph Tetra for my skimmer though..

Haven't thought about any powerheads yet either but I know I'll need a few of those too!

[Dreadful]

So I spent like an hour last night cutting egg crate and messing around with my plumbing and now the water level doesnt even come close to reaching the top of the skimmer.. this doesn't seem right at all >_>

I've bought a bigger pump because I already knew the one i was using wasnt strong enough but I'm dropping it back down lol

Looks good!! Just make sure you get insurance for water damage at your condo just in case...

[Dreadful]

haha i have contents insurance but they said there's no insurance i can buy that will cover me if the thing leaks and ruins the unit below!

[Dreadful]

Alright guys!

I've finally corrected all my plumbing, skimmer, and leakage issues!

Very satisfied with the result. She runs like a dream and is very quiet!

All I have to do now is finish up the cabinet, route some more wiring, and buy some lights!









(water looks quite yellow because of the kitchen light I'm sure it wont be an issue once i get some lighting over the tank)

Of course I'll be cycling the water for awhile until i put anything in other than LR ;D
