Well my tank is getting drilled as we speak, and then on to building my overflow. Im going with the ultra quiet Herbie overflow, using 1.5" bulkheads.
I have a friend with a machine shop, so I hope he will cnc some acrylic for me for a nice clean looking overflow.

So I picked up my plumbing supplies for my overflow, which to my surprise was really inexpensive, except for the schedule 80 gate valve was costly but I think necessary. Im going to set up the overflow plumbing first then get my supplies for the return, after I figure out the return pump im going with. Im thinking of the Laguna 2400, it relatively cheap and super quiet.

Well im a little behind in the plumbing, I have been very busy. BUUUT I finally got my new Illumina today, and i must say im very impressed with the look and feel of this fixture. It has a very sturdy feel to it.I can say one thing for sure.... WOW this is BRIGHT... Wayyyy brighter than my 2x250 MH. I hung it already over the 72g to see how it looks and I must say, I have never seen colors like this in my corals, especially my zoos. I need to figure out how to take pics with my DSLR of the colors without it all turning purple in the pic.

Amazing light, anyone on the fence about this light needs to remember the nike slogan.... Just DO IT.

Anyone with some photography experience who knows how to solve this problem feel free to let me in on the secret.

Ok everyone, im in a bit of a bind here, I am moving within a week or two and need to finish plumbing the new tank. To do that I need a sump tank which is kind of an odd ball size 36x16x16. I only need the tank, no baffles... nothing just the tank any condition that holds water well. Does anyone have a tank of this size they want to sell/get rid of? Even a dimension close to it. My stand wont fit anything more than 36 long 16.5 deep 17 high without going in from the top. Otherwise Im going with a rubbermaid or 33 gallon, both of which im trying to avoid. I want 40 or more gallons for the sump. Thanks
