Greg's 75g

It's coming along! I'm leaving for a week long trip to Mexico on Monday so I am just trying to get things all tuned in and stable before I leave.

Finally I see some water is running, not really salted water yet but there is something to look at for now ...
I have the same Eheim pump just like you. I think if you use vinyl tubing instead off the pvc pipe and use a mouse pad to put underneath it, it will reduce the vibration humming sound from it. Maybe not a big deal for you, but my tank is in my bedroom so I am very fussy about noises. I try to reduce any unecessary noise as much as I can.

Sorry I missed some of your build Wayne. Guess I was sleeping
Your's looks amazing

Ya, there's both, plus the 'trough' in case it ever overflows the overflow

Redundancy on these tanks is essential, as far as i'm concerned.
You can never be too safe. The trough is such an easy piece to add so why not.

Our DT is in our livingroom, and we sleep next to it, so quiet is of the utmost importance.
I have many pumps in my office to listen to. Besides the powerheads/filters in my QT and curing rock tub, I also have 2 x Eheim 1262s in the sump
If you look over my pics, you'll see there's one for the UV/Chiller/Chaeto/Reactor circuit and another for the DT return
I use this filter material for dampening and it works great. As it wears out I can replace it as I only use small squares.
I have used Spa-flex where needed instead of vinyl tubing.

Wow, thanks Tony.
Coming from you, I'll take that as a definate compliment
Guys and Gals like yourself inspire me to build The Reef
I hope, one day, to have a tank as nice as Reefers like you.

I mentioned earlier that I forgot to post a pic of the Chaeto light

Here's the light on the tank. Sorry about the bad lighting

Alright, how many of you saw the verticle blind cables in the picture ?
Or even the rules ?
