Your kids are adorable! When I was a little girl I would have sold my siblings for a play castle like that.

Thank you so much. We raised them ourselves.

Here is a complete tank shot. As you can see some of the salt has yet to be dissolved and you have to love my nitrate spongs. I am getting a baffle to raise the water level under the sock so I don't hear the constant water sounds. At that point I will remove the sponges. I also couldn't decide on the best way to plumb the return. What I have works, but the pipe on the right is so short that it made the one on the left very long. I only have the one radion up, but it is looking good so far.

Here is another shot of the sump. The sump design was pretty much perfect for a standard skimmer; however, the sro 1000sss requires very minimal water in the skimmer chamber so I had to raise it up as my second bubble trap was set at 7" which was too high for this skimmer.

Man, my phone sometime takes crappy pictures. Sorry for the bad quality.
