zoas, chalice, starry blenny, sexy shrimp, and a pom pom crab aswell.. we will hope none of them get electricuted or poisoned from the x box controller.

Haha ya its not a pile of glass anymore.

Plumbing is done just have to find a slip union for the back-up drain.

I also have to cut out my black acrylic sheet and see if my friend has time to machine some teeth and cut outs for the return lines.

Sooo i hope to have the stand finished early next week.

After all that its leak test time.

Plumbing is done.

Just have to paint the inside so its water resistant.

Would also like to add a exhaust fan.









Will get some brighter tomorrow.

That's a nice little unit, are you going to run a skimmer? (hopefully you didn't already answer this)

Did you consider not using one? Pretty small tank and just, or mostly, clams right? Might do better without one.

I like how you leak test right above an extension cord fixed up with duct tape. That's something I'd do. Go ahead ask how many times I've received the 60hz tingle.

Seriously though, system looks great. I'll be watching this thread closely, might be a good winter project.
