here is it with water, and the sump, dont worry everyone the skimmer isnt on lol nothing in the sump yet, gotta go buy some stuff after work,, i still have more sand to put in the bottom, i just put in one bag for now, salt levels are good and everything, can't wait :D oh also your knoticing the plastic bag on the drain to the sump, its becuase it had a killer splash on it, putting water outside of the sump not in, so its causing it to stay in the sump now, going tobuy some pipe tomorrow to fix that

nice setup keep us updated:wink:

Looks great man.. love the open look with the light

thanks guys,
had no choice with the light it doesnt fit in the little hood, i wouldnt even call it a hood. more like framing, i like it, it still makes it look good though

nice. what kind of pump do you have?

Looks like a Eheim 1262? I have the same on my 100g..great pump!

as long as you stay away from little giant had one what a disaster the pump was supposed to be non oil filled they lied:sad:

yes it is :)


my friend went to little giant and had the same problem

tell me about it i awoke one day to find my FW tank completley wiped out fish went belly up and everything and yah the pump leaked oil all over the place tried to contact little giant but just got the run around still have the pump too and its 5 years later dont know why i keep it i just do of course im not using it just keeping it

yup thats the same thing, that happend to my friend, he doesnt have a tank anymore, he kinda just got depressed about it and forgot about it, and back to freshwater he went, he said he would try later...

and holy crow! i just added a bag of the "live" sand and it made my tank NASTY! i know it has all the good stuff in, but its flippin GROSS! lol
