Well here it is. After a bad start, having to drain and make up new water, the new tank is running and the move was done today.
Specs: -24w X 16d X 18h -Starpire glass all 4 sides -Build in 1 1/2" overflow w/durso -Eurobracing -250w PFO HQI ballast -XM20k bulb -2x120mm - 110cfm each -- these will be changed already as they are noisy. -AquaC 150 Skimmer -Mag 5 - return And now for the pics. I tested it out with fresh water first Here is the sump Inside the hood. Full tank shot from the front. Still needs to settle. From the side I'll take some more pictures when It settles down and I can see to arange everything... Walter |

Won't those metal hose clamps on the lines in your sump rust and leach ugly evilness into your water???
Looks great otherwise. Nice clean setup.

A zap strap can do in a pinch to tighten up a vinyl hose over a hose barb...

Here are a few updates. I have not moved anything yet, so it's a bit of a mess. I'm also trying to get a good picture with this very blue light..
From the front. From the side. Walter

Looking Good! A clown goby, or a bi-colour blenny would love it in there - so many places to perch!
