That makes sense, just couldn't see it in the picture. Concept did a nice job on the sump.

Ya they did. I went in on Xmas eve (Monday) and they had it finished ready to go for Saterday morning. So they were really fast. And I seen a wicket tank there that gave me an idea for my next display tank. It was a L shape but it was like a tank ontop of a tank. Say a 48x36x18 but the back pane of glass came up and was the back pane for a smaller 48x12x12 and the water came over the edge of the top tank like a waterfall into the bottom tank. The only issue would be lighting.

i went with t5s. i picked up this 6 bulb with dual moonlight strips fixture (sunlight supply) from marine aquaria. got a wicket deal on it. a new fixture for less than used lol. I went t5 because its a shallow tank , color options, and price.



here it is on the tank.



the tanks gonna be controlled by a neptune apex the same that i use on my other tank.

got my water blaster 5000 and heater today in the mail and then went and picked up a bag of dry rubble and a tunze osmolator.




i also put as much of the dry rock in my current tank to seed it for a while. Tomorow i may start some plumbing.

Gonna be one helluva frag tank
Lots of peeps don't have nice gear like yours on their DTs

so got my brs order friday and the went to rona today to get some fittings

gate valves, true union ball valves, and check valve + fitings

the grizz stoped by and i got two tlf 150 reactors off him.

so heres my starting point off my return pump

i then made this header to come off it. i teed off and reduced to 1/2 inch with gate valves to feed the reactors and installed a 1" check valve to {hopefully} stop anywater from coming back into my sump in a power outage.

heres my return bulkheads that i have to pipe too im going to put gate valves on each line to control the flow on each.

i forgot a few fittings today so hopefully get them tomorow to finninsh up.

return pump plumbed 1" true union ball valve into header with 1/2 gates to run my reactors. then a check valve.
1" come up to a tee then 1" gate valves into my line lock returns. put a few unions in so i can dissasemble it if needed.

1 1/2 drain line done just with 2 45s. left the rest to do when there water in the tank so i can test for sound differances.
