That looks awesome! :mrgreen:

Looks like it worked out pretty good man. Water soon?

hopefully today, its already mixed and waiting just need a chunk of 3/4" hose

nice job on the back rock wall, also smart planning ahead.

When the coralline algae gets a grip of all the spaces inbetween that is going to kick serious butt. I am so tempted to try this but it still terrifies me. Looking forward to seeing this one age a little.

Did you change bulbs and get some more par out of those t5s? Seems by adding glass and eggcrate it could only be worse?

the test rock i did i couldnt even get it off with a razorblade, im not worried at all,plumbing is all done and water will be in it tonight for shure,not that anything else will be though, i have 1 big rock i have to kill some aptasia on then ill put that in but then im back on the waiting list for a while

pics with some water, i filled it up a few days ago, no big problems but the tank is a bit uneven which is a pain cause if i want to fix it i need to drain the whole tank im shure so i can slide something either under the tank or under the stand.

im super happy i did the rockwall even if it was a bunch of work i really looks good in person and when the tank is full of rocks it should help blend everything in nicely

im a bit annoyed with the sump, i ordered it before i had all the stuff so the chamber for the skimmer and return are a bit small and with the bigger than expected red dragon return and plumbing it quite crammed, biggest issue is the skimmer, without a stand it sits right at the line for the water limit but dont really work so i made a eggcrate stand to lift it up a bit, the skimmer's running ok but its louder than i hopedfor kind of a constant humming and a slight air sucking sound, its the humming thats the issue,im not shure if thier is an ideal hight the skimmer should sit in the water but id like to figure it out before making a glass stand for it, on the eggcrate the skimmer sits a bit slanted cause the rummer feet on the bottom.

Ive said it before and I will say it again....Its alive......alive. Looks good bud. How much water do you think all that epoxy displaces:mrgreen:

Wow your tank is really looking great. Looks like the rock wall hides wires when your looking in the tank..

Happy with the Vortech so far?
