Well it's up and running and I just put some frags in it today.

Are you running it off the same sump return pump, T'd off to this tank, or do you have a separate feed pump? I'd love to see how you've got the plumbing routed. What size pipe you have feeding it? Looks like 2" on the drain line. How far laterally does it have to travel?

Everything is running of the same (only) return pump (Dart), it's fed by 2", the outlet is 1 1/2" and that goes into a manifold. The manifold feeds the display, frag tank, water change tank, refugium, Carbon/GFO reactor, and hospital tank (I have not used yet). I still have one outlet left on the manifold that I have not used yet.

I'll try and get some pics soon.

Hi Bill

Wow it looks like you have been fairly busy since the last time I saw your tank.

The changes take an awesome system to a supper awesome system.

See you soon.

Thanks Tom,

I'm going to assume you mean awesome.

I can't wait for the bigger display but I still have some finishing to do on the sump system.
