finally a sump

[martym]

I finally convinced my wife to allow me to add a sump tp my 75g tank . I got a 15g tank from big al's plumbed it all in today. Just mixing some new water to add. One word of advice to others, if you get a reef ready tank, set up ypur sump right away. When i got my tank ( a month ago) I added some PVC to the bulk heads and put valves on the pvc so the over flow wouldn't leak. Great idea, I would only have to wait for the wife to allow me to add a sump. Well I cracked open the valves and the smell knocked me out. When I came to, the wife knock me out for smelling up the house. It's amazing how quick water turns bad and smells like sewer . Anyway got it all flushed out and it seems OK now. I just hope the mag7 I got from Doug is enough for the return.
