Just got a new return pump today, and I can not be more pleased with it. I bought the Speedwave DC 1320. Also known as the Waveline dc-5000, its adjustable up to 1320g/h (at 0 head) along with a 10min feed button which shuts the pump off for 10min during feeding then restarts. The pump also has a soft start which mean it slowly ramps up to its set speed so its not turning on full power right away.
I did a test with in and its silent to the point I had to check the water was actually moving. Also NO LEAKS! so now all I need is some heaters and the tank can start being filled and cycled....wow so close to finishing this!  I also got a few new frags and 3 bubble tips when I bought the pump. 1 sun coral frag with about 3-5 heads which is currently in another small tank being feed so no pictures yet.

Nice looking tank - I think we saw each other at Concept yesterday - I was the guy with the two kids waiting (im)patiently. I am thinking about the Speedwave my my new build so it is good to see the quick review here.
Looking forward to seeing this sucker with water in in.

Ahh yes! we did, pump works amazing! I have to say im really happy with it. Also saw the model below the one I bought today at another store for 30$ more than I paid for mine....so the Concept price is great. Sadly last night when finishing up the VERY LAST section of hard pipe, when pushing it in, I cracked the bulkhead right down the seam so I had to go buy a new one today. Hopefully I can start filling this tank by mid week

Well its been a long weekend for me, so I transferred all the stock from my old 35gal setup, which has been running for 2+ years. Everything went great minus the loss off 1 clown, 1 emerald crab. I checked the tank and have been all weekend, no cycle happened but the clown wasnt looking so hot when I transferred him. As for the crab, well he got stuck in the sand of the old tank, and I thought I got everything out, but alas I found him legs up not moving when i went to clean the sand out of the old tank.
Here is a shot of the tank with the LED's on about 50% White, 40% Blue  Here is a shot of just the White's on.  So officially this tank is gone   But this one has just started! Long road ahead. For stock right now I have: 1 Clown 1 Yellow Tail Damsel 1 3 stripped Damsel 1 Coral Beauty 1 Six Line Wrasse 1 Banggai Cardinalfish 1 Longspine Urchin Looking to add, yellow tang, Blue tang, Kole tang and a Green Mandarin, that may change depending on what else shows up that I would rather have. Any suggestions are welcome. Im planning on adding 2 media reactors, one for Carbon one for GFO of course a bigger skimmer.
