Martin's 180g Reef Build

[MMAX]

I was going to comment on the ABS also. Know a guy that had a 200gal reef and he lost everything. Couldn't explain it for the longest time but all signs pointed to the ABS piping leaching stuff into his water.

Yea, I've never had an issue with ABS at all been using it as I said for at least 5 years. Was just doing some reading on it and a lot of people say its a myth.

I will be removing most of it from the return pump today to replace with flex however the stuff in the overflow is pretty much permanent and I dont want to rip out the bulkheads and replace them already since I am planning on moving some inhabitants in today.

That's one of those urban reefing legends that just doesn't seem to want to die. True ABS is not only safe, but used by many hobbists. Myself included.
