Oh you make me blush. My tanks DO have water, but they also have algae right now too, and the fish are all staring at me wanting to be fed. Honestly Mark, you really don't give yourself enough credit, you know what you're doing even if you won't admit it. You also put a lot of time into research and planning and that goes a long way. Your reef will be spectacular.

Did some more plumbing on the system over the last few days.

Fixed the missing shutoff at the return pump


Completed the return plumbing in the main cabinet


At some point here I have to rinse out my sand and plumb in the new RO unit. Just so much to do on this!

Haha...I'll tell her my new orders right away!

Funny enough, I had most of yesterday to work on things and even then, only a little got done. The real SOB of that plumbing was that TruWye. It sounded like a good idea at first, until I realized that the angles of the split were around 65°...and I was up till 1am trying to make 45's and 90's compensate. If I was a true plumber, the concept of turning the 45's would have come to me much earlier.

I'm very impressed with your fish room. Congratulations on an amazing build!

Well, I haven't had as much time to work on the tank in the last few days (what with New Years and all) but I did have time to put up the new 65" Panasonic Plasma I got in my theater room. Don't mind the mess and no, that audio rack is not supposed to be there...a refrigerator is. I have an amazing PSB speaker system going up as well, once I find speaker mounts that I like.
