Martin's 180g Reef Build

[martinmcnally]

Ok so small update today. I install rubber padding under the pump thanks to TheGrizz

Moved the sump over a little so I could install PVC flex and I replaced the discharge side with PVC flex also. All in the name of getting some quiet time.



I also put rubber padding around every part where return meets stand.




I'm happy to say that it cut the noise in half and to a level where I'm confident that once the stand is covered I can get back to watching John Stewart in peace.

Now for lighting. I am not going to reveal too much. However I did decide to just throw a loanly AI Sol up there to see how it would look. Its the white case white LED model. Check out the light beam from this thing (the tank is a little cloudy still)




I wont be using Sols however I'm impressed with the lighting that just one can do. Granted the tank is a little cloudy still. Its been settling for 4 days already ugh!
