Thanks all, It was a pretty daunting project as a whole, but now that im down to the tinkering, im starting to really enjoy it.

Thanks Christy, yeah it was a mess of plumbing in there...the few i showed during that phase spit out thier coffee aswell

Tony, I have increments marked on the resevoir, and if you have a look at the sump pic in that thread youll see a pvc pipe that sticks down into the water...with a peice of styro around it...this pipe also has increments drilled in it.
Then i have done a conversion on the sump and reseviour to find out what each of these increments equals in gallons.
So now when i do a water change i just watch the float go down 50 gal(or whatever the waterchange may be)
And feed in from the reseviour the same using its increments.
This has made water changes a breeze in this system, if i dont need to siphon, i just open a valve and spit out 50 gal, close it and open one on the reseviour and spit in 50 gal..takes 10 mins.

Ill post a little closer look at it for you tommorow Tony.

Beverly, i will post a few soon of the views...i just figured its kinda ugly right now with all the putty and junk still on there.

lol Rich, i told you your welcome over anytime.. gimme a shout.

Ill post some more of how the rockwork was done in the next day or two, in a little more detail.

Thanks alot guys, Marc.
