Looks great! Can't wait to see what you do with this one!!

In that other thread you said you were moving to the Okanagan...looks like you missed!

Thanks ive been itching all summer to put this one back together!
I was out there up untill a few weeks ago but my girfriend couldn't find a teaching job there, she found one in New West so we made the move out here. Would love to move back to Kelowna but its probably not going to happen for a couple more years.

I picked up some acrylic and the rest of my plumbing parts last week and got started on finishing my overflow and plumbing the sump. For the overflow I went with a stockman standpipe and a gate valve and its silent!! I might up the retun pump to a mag 3 but a little longer dwell time in the sump can only be good for the tank.The tank is turning out how i pictured it, all the plumbing thru the bottom, very close to the wall and all self contained. Im just looking for some live rock now to get the ball rolling.

Looks good so far. This may be a bit off topic but is the outside of your stand real stone? That must be a bit heavy

Thanks

Nope, its Urethane, pretty light and tuff, actually the stand fell down a dirt hill when i was moving it from Kelowna and stood up pretty well.

I thought it looked a bit styrofoamy, lol. Looks great anyway.

Thanks

I found some Vanatu live rock at Big Al's in Burnaby of all places. Nice stuff fully cured, i'm not expecting much of a cycle. Here's the initial Aquascape, i may change my mind but i like it so far.

I snapped this before the lights came on this morning. Its Been a while since i updated it.
