thanks Lance....I know its not as fancy as some peoples plumbing, but I tend to lean towards the KISS approach.....I did add a bunch of unions to this build for ease of cleaning (or de-snailifying) and dis-assembly....

you just werent looking hard enough......

and were you talking about the tank or the skimmer?



so its taking some time to get the thing full of water because Laurie has to balance her weekly water change schedule with making RO for my tank......her RO unit and water storage tank are in a crawl space about 36' away from my tank, so here is what she came up with so she wouldnt have to hump water out of the crawl space.....I imagine that this is what I will use to get water back in the tank after a w/c...


follow the hose, it always knows








and finally where it ends up and where the tank sits water wise ATM

[fishoholic]

Ya it's going to take awhile to fill with only RO but I'm working on it. The 40 foot hose definitely helps!

It's not full yet?!

[Zoaelite]

This thing just emanates with a TOTM aura and its not even full of water yet!! Great job mang, I'm stoked to see this set up and running.

[lockrookie]

have you thought of taking some of the water from teh weekly water change and throwing that in the tankto help with reduced the cycle... or do you not want the tanks to swap spit so to speak.

thanks Levi....I must admit that the thought of being the first person (I think) to get TOTM on two different tanks would be cool.....Im just gonna have to work my arse off of this tank like I did with V1 of the 110g....maybe even dose and stuff....

swapping spit with Lauries tanks is not an option.....her phosphates are off the chart and I dont really want to start my tank off on the wrong foot.....she actually wanted to fill my tank with tap water and a garden hose and I had to put the kibosh on that too, for the same reason....

That was my first question for ya are you going to be setting up some form of dosing pump on this tank? not saying your current setup isn't stellar....but inquiring minds want to know LOL
