Looks fantastic Grizz! Can't wait to see it full of water.

What are you doing for lighting? sorry if I missed it..

Thanks J, going to be using my large diy LED's that are on my 165 after a few tweaks to it are done.

Those 3 DC pumps look sexy all lined up and ready to go...

Wish I had mad DIY skills like this! Nice work!

I love the small size of these pumps, makes it easy to plumb 3 in line on both ends of the sump.


Thanks Antrias but some days I think MAD is the key word :loco:

Pulled the sump out tonight, ran some white silicone down the bottom back edge where the panels meet ( makes it look so clean )

Wow looks fantastic!! My only question is ... Noise. How loud do you think the pumps skimmer reactors etc could be once this sexy tank is wet??

Either way I would live with it looking at a build like that!

Noise and DC pump doesn't really co-exists ;)

With everything in a cabinet that is going to be sound proofed and the fact that DC pump are so silent that I have to put my ear to the one I have running now on my 165 I dont think there is going to be a whole lot of noise at all.

So true.

Currently run three speedwaves/wavelines and you can definitely hear them, they were pretty quiet at first but now are the noisiest part of the fish room. I run them internal as well so something to be aware of for sure but a minor issue none the less.
