Couple more bits and pieces for the system... Will be picking up plumbing parts tomorrow. Hopefully have this thing plumbed by end of the weekend.




And a 2nd 150W Heater.

Slowly adding parts to this build.

Picked up some Seafloor Special Grade substrate (crushed coral style) and 1 of my 2 MP10wES powerheads.

Nothing interesting otherwise. Going to try and finish up my plumbing tomorrow.

Powerhead and Pizza!

Did a bit more work on the tank tonight. I started the "power center" last week I think but never ended up finishing it or cleaning up the wiring, so I took care of that tonight.

Picked up a Tunze ATO from Concepts and some Dry Rock as well. So I set that up as well as placed the rock in the tank.

Still need to finish my plumbing (just the return portion left) this weekend, but I picked up the wrong size PVC part on my way home so will have to get around to that tomorrow.

Couple photos, as crappy as they are.

The Tunze only comes with the one magnet set. You sneaky bastard you split the pair and used something metal on the other side of them didn't you? I like you eggcrate mounting board too that's handy.

I actually got 2 of them in the box. I was pretty confused as to why they provided me with two, I couldn't understand it! 1 has a spot for both the float switch and the electronic sensor, the other just one spot. In the instructions it shows that you can use the single holder one for when you want to have the float switch higher than the other dual magnet provides. I decided to use it for holding the feed pump hose in place.

I stole the eggcrate board idea from someone over on Nano-Reef. Works really well. Cable management is very important to me on this build. Clean clean clean..

Sweet. I think I missed seeing him when I was there.

Actually it's because I was there first and cleaned out everything.
