Well thought this thread needed a brief update.

We've been mostly working on retaining walls in the back yard so if things look like they are moving slow...welcome to my world

The cabinet maker has been working on my kitchen back at his shop and tinkering a little with finishing the tank stand.

Here are the small (but I'll take what I can get) updates: Note that these are crappy phone pictures.

So exciting! I bet you will be glad to just get moved and settled in at this point.

Hope all is well with you guys and I would love to see some new pictures of the kids if you get a chance.

Ohhh, I see. She gets special pics does she?

Edit: Wait... I missed the part about your kids. Now I seem like a creep. Nevermind...

This is awkward. Nice looking setup so far.

Okay, so I'm in need of some advice here. If you look at the first picture above showing the entire stand, you can see that I have had them cut out space for my external overflow on the end panel. My plan is to run two 6105's and two MP40W's at that end to push flow towards the clear end. The problem that has arisen is that I will need to "cut-out" spots for those powerheads to fit at the end. Two will fit beside the overflow, while two will go lower down on the panel.

My question is which two should go lower? I think the Vortec's have a broader flow so they probably should go up high. Opinions or advice suggesting otherwise?

much better chance of keeping sand in place using the tunze lower down. they're more of a jet. I have two 6105s stacked on each other maybe 4" off my sand. aimed just ever so slightly up. The top one is 24V too.
