Lando i just finished reading your entire post and i have to say you did a fantastic job. I love the quality of your pictures by the way. I hope my new tank turns out half as well as yours.

That birds nest has gotten huge!

I am bringing this thread back from the abyss.

Since quitting my day job in Aug08 to work for Marine Aquaria a lot has changed on this tank. I shut it down for about 6 months due to plague algae problems that I did not have time to address then. The good news is I have rebuilt and Joe Reefer's Inwall 120 V2.0 has been running for 3+ months now. Pictures to follow............

Sweet... looking forward to see them Lando!!

What has changed? The Prop tank and fuge have been replaced with a 40 gallon mixing bin. The sump has been drilled for an emergency drain, making water changes almost automatic and very painless. Skimmer is now a BK180. The back of the tank was drilled for the return making it look much cleaner than over the top. The RO unit is plumbed to the mixing bin and tank directly. The rest is pretty much the same, the idea was to make this tank very easy to maintain. I have also replaced the nanostreams with a MP40.

Very nice man......almost a mirror image of my sump.....(well the bk and the twin tlf reactors:wink:)

Nice looking setup! Making water changes quicker and easier is never a bad idea. Easier is always better. :biggrin:
