![]() That is a good looking stand if I do say so myself, sweet light to. I will be watching as well can't wait to see what you do with it. It was no problem bringing it down had to go look at a new tank in Calgary anyways.
Good luck with the build.

![]() So, the tank is almost ready for pickup fro RC with holes and overflow installed so i decided to start planning my sump. I think i've decided on an Aqua-C EV-120 skimmer. mostly for its incredibly short stature and alleged ability to keep up with most of the good tower versions.
http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s..._ID=ps-acev120 If anyone has one used, or has used one. im interested in speaking with you... I've laid out the sump so i can maintain an 11" water level for the skimmer (which ill have to prop up 3 inches as it cannot sit in water any deeper than 8). The left compartment is drain/refuge with a DSB and probably some LR/rubble over top of it to catch any of the big chunks. Going to use some PVC with holes drilled to spread the water evenly overtop of the dsb. Second compartment will be for the skimmer. followed by a bubble trap and the return section. any thoughts on the layout would be greatly appreciated before i go and get the glass... :-) on that note, anyone know a good shop to get it from? |

![]() Glad to see that RC was able to drill tank ok I was a little worried about it as I was not sure if the glass was tempered. Looking good dude.
