Hmm...I just realized that your overflow boxes also allow water to enter in the lower and middle portions.

Hmm...No..it would still work, even with those entrances. You would just have to dial back the gate valves until the water rose above those entrances. The entrances would still pull water just the same.

Well, just spent most of the week making new RODI/saltwater. The all day Friday was spent transferring Live Rock first, then corals, & finally fish into the new 220g. Thanks Morgan for a hand in the morning & thanks TomR for a hand plumibing in the return pump. That pipecutter is sure handy.

Plumbed in my 40w Lifeguard UV sterilizer in last night around 1:30am. No leaks detected & with the help of a micron sock, the tank is looking spectacular this early morning. Usually not a morning person, but this is like Christmas morning to a fish nut like me to check out the new tank the morning after. Will post pics as soon as I can find my battery charger.

I'm really pleased with the aquascaping & I took advantage of the 2-sided viewing & 24" width with the rock work.

So far, the fish & corals seem to like the new tank. Heck, the Powder Blue Tang didn't even ick up & I would have bet money that it would.

Seahorses have now been transferred into their new home in the sump.We'll see how well they do in their new environment.

Sorry for the lack of pics, but soon. For local reefers, you're welcome to swing by to look at the new tank in person

Anthony

How did you manage to have your sump bubbleless enough to put seahorses in it?

Oh and......................

I shifted the skimmer farther away from the baffle & I have my little plastic frag tray between the skimmer & the baffle to also trap bubbles. Almost zero bubbles get into the seahorse section. I'll take pics soon.

Hope you like
