thanks scubasteve i hope to have pictures of the tank in its spot later today. i have been busy doing water changes and cleaning the area. there still is a bit of finishing work to be done but i want to wait until the tank is setled in thecarpet before i do that. all plumbing ishooked up and filtration set. i will have to buy carbon sometime this week.

equipt in the sump:
uvsteriliser by <aa>
odysea pump for refugium
quiet1 4000 fro return (still have toputa gate valve onthis just incase)
vertex in180
heater 300w

still have to set the lines for fill limit once filled and label what cord is for what when and why mind you i stilhavent done thaton my 90 yet and its almost been a year.

That looks great!!!!!

im hoping using water from the 90 will help with the cycle. i have about 30g so far and will have another 15 monday night and will mix up 15 more fresh which is over kill after sand/rock displacement. never hurts to have to much. i should be able to fill it wed or thurday night.

i will tell you, this is doing wonders for my 90, water is crystal clear and everything is happy. i am going to have to make a point to do water changes like this at least once a year.
