I have to agree with sphelps that adding rubber couplers inline between the return pump and the output to the tank, especially before it makes contact with the wall should really help with the noise transfer upstairs.

If you really have no room, which I can understand as it looks pretty tight, then maybe consider cutting an access panel where the return plumbing enters the wall and adding the coupler there.

Other than that, great looking build!

Yesterday I added the fish from my other tanks into the main display...they seem very happy though I was worried about my clown as he seemed distressed while in transfer between my houses.





I'm using Prodibio on this tank but the instructions for use from both them and from Aqua-digital are pretty vague, so after dosing 30 vials of Startup 8 days ago, today I started with the bio-digest and bioptim. I will start tracking them at 15 days now. Hopefully this keeps my tank ticking along the way that it's supposed to.

30 vials?

YAY, FISH!!!! I just bought a 6-pack of those Cardinalfish for my 50-gallon LPS tank. They are very pretty.

Figured an update is long overdue. Last week, I purchased my first batch of frags during a trip to Kamloops. Thanks again Matt.

Here they are in a little quarantine tank after i dipped and inspected them thoroughly. They are just under three stunners right now but I plan to move a couple of them up to the display today.

Yup...4 of the in the display now. Having a few lighting issues. One LED went out in one of my parallel strings and the fuses shortly followed to protect the other LEDS in those strings. Needless to say...changing some fuses and troubleshooting that LED today.

Hey Mark, what's your LED set up? Fuses? Aren't you using constant current drivers? Hope you get it sorted out. LMK if you need assistance, I've got some electrical know how.
