this is what we came up with for my tank, greg did an awesome job, and I think he's think of a similar Idea for yours.. not to hijack, just a good visual reference for what he was saying

I don't know what you mean by Iocline :redface: we have lines that bend and can be directed....is that what you mean?

Yes that sounds like you have loc-line.

Ahh yes that sounds right...will add more pics once they are installed. Couldn't find black connectors so painted them, they are drying, won't go on until tomorrow.

Almost a year in the hobby and still such a newb....lol

you can be 20yrs n hobby and still be a noob dont sweat it. just keep moving forward

It's alive!! Finally have pump and skimmer going. Needs a couple more hours to fill, but have enough water to move through the sump. Just need to fill the over flows a bit more, sounds like a bathtub draining..lol. Added a bit more salt. Cant wait to get the lights on it to see how it all looks, but so far i think its not too shabby!! Thanks for all the help so far! Will add shrimp later tonight to kick start cycle!

Congrats!! Can't wait to see the pics!!

As for the cycle, why don't you just pee in there instead? :mrgreen: You may need to add more than one shrimp due to the size of that beast.

prodibio has a good cycle start system

I am looking forward to seeing those 3 Radions on a 180g !
Also I would go with them in artificial mode until the natural mode software is updated soon as there is too much green at the begining and end of cycles.

Ewww that'd be weird, peeing in the tank....I'm ok with not giving that a try :lol:
