pictures and its about time.
well here is the tank getting setup for a bulkhead that will allow me to run a sump so I won't need that POC red sea Skimmer. But allow me to run a SWC cone 160

all done looks so purty

Bulkhead in

the tank getting disassembled


Doug came over the day before to help get things into the Tub Thanks Doug for all your help.

The tubs what a mess getting it in and sorted out.

Then I get a call that a special person was in town on my behalf. see this is us getting ready to transfer. I think I look happy. might of been the beer too. Greg was caught off guard.

Even after a 10 hour drive, he still had some energy left.

plumbed up and getting there.

trying out the return lines using the chiller lines worked pretty good too.

had the return lines going into this chamber, only for a bit that is where one of the powerheads that circulate the water but its causing mirco bubbles so I had to try something else.

got the plumbing sorted out and still tweaking the sump.

these are from my Iphone still kinda of blue
this is the first attempt to aquascape/ I hate it so on to another try.

how about this one I like this alot better.

Looks great. Maybe try running the lines into the original skimmer chamber so that the water has to go through the small weirs. Also if those origninal pumps fail you can use a MJ ??size for the right side. Cant remeber the size but it runs cooler & its like the same flow.
