my 104.72G Shallow Lagoon

Have you gotten around to plumbing this thing yet? I WILL be home all weekend and still got that PVC laying around if you want it...

Updates?

I lined up the tank with the stand so it isn't off centre anymore :P

Actually you are right I should probably update this thread. I have the stand painted, sump built, plumbing purchased, skimmer (Hydor 700) and return pump (magdrive 12) acquired, lighting purchased (2 x 6bulb tek T5s). I am planning to plumb the tank tonight and if all goes well should have water coursing through the system by the weekend.

I've also had a couple of tubs (33gs each) of water with cured live rock from a fellow canreef that's been cooking for the past 3 months so I'll be dumping those into the tide pool this weekend.

Okay, so here we go! Finally got around to putting it all together. Here's what the guts look like.



33g two chamber sump. Return on the left, skimmer on the right. Herbie overflows with 2 1/2" drains. Return is driven by a mag 12 into 1" pipes. Skimmer is the awesome Hydro 700.





Here's a shot of the overflow box with the herbie overflows. At the opposite end is the return. The third pipe in the overflow box is currently blocked off. I was going to use it for a return as well but decided against it (for now).

So all that's left to do is wait for the PVC cement to cure, then tomorrow night hang my lights. Push the whole setup into its corner and we're off to the races!

I can't wait to see it filled

Aren't you worried about a back syphon on your return if the power goes out? That 90 elbow looks pretty low, unless your sump can handle the extra water. Just curious.

Setup looks killer though. Love the dimensions.
