Thinking about switching out my hammerhead return pump for a pair of fluval sea sp6 pumps. Partly because I have so little head pressure that I need to throttle the flow back with a valve. But mostly because I'm out of town for work so often that I want the built in backup of having two pumps.

I just bought a fluval sea sp4 for my new build , I haven't tried it out yet but it looks like its built well.

I've heard the fluvals are super quiet too, not that the hammerhead is very loud for how large it is.

Yes, was a great price too. Wish I had a few more holes in it, but that's my fault. Lol. It gives great room for grow out, which is what I wanted.

Changed out my DIY LED lights for new DIY LED, and decided to make the drivers wiring a little less ghetto. It's still got a ways to go as far as cleaning up. But a good start.





I have a couple din rail mounted timers coming in, and might replace the wall wart 10v supply with a din rail mounted piece.
And yes the covers are on now, was just adjusting the current.

Thinking I might add a few more LED's to my array, although it's bright now even though I only added 12 led's over my last one.

Painted the floor and put a utility sink in the fish room here.
I would highly recommend doing both of those before the tank is even in.

Painting the floor was pretty simple, but the area where my overflow was splashing the tiniest amount seems to have left a salt spot that I just can't get out of the concrete and will need a second coat for sure.
The paint makes a HUGE difference. I would highly suggest painting the floor being the first thing you do to a fish room if you aren't going to tile it.
Did make my skimmer pull about 3" of water over night, which seems odd, but everything looks great.

edit, just realized this photo is real blurry, lol. I have a few touch ups to make, but one coat seems to be ok.
