No opinions but that whole set up looks bad ass, glad I'm still tagging (creeping) along on this thread getting lots of ideas for my next build (There's always a next build right)

LOL. Yes the build is slow. Unfortunately I'm not a rich man. If I had all the money in the world this would have been done 3 years ago lol. I just have to buy one piece of equipment per month until I have everything. This month was all the T5 Lighting to suppliment the halides. Next will be calcium reactor. Then Controller. Then Livestock!

Is a calcium reactor really necessary to fire up the tank tough ? I'm not say you shouldn't get one, I'm just saying, do you need one right away, as a precursor to starting up the tank ?

Oh gosh no! haha. It will be up and wet this week. Just have to plumb the rest (which I will be starting tonight). And if everything goes to plan, the next thing I will be buying all the frikin bags of sand for the DSB.

I'm actually planning on cycling the fuge's before even adding livestock, so calcium reactor won't actually be required for a while.

I will add, that when you don't have the $$$ to buy everything new, everything else takes 3 times as long to do lol. I also have to acid bath all of the used LR i've been collecting for ages haha. Finding the time for all of this is just crazy.

Hey Kien, question for you...

When you had those two sumps under your 131 FOWLR add on, did the 3 bulkheads without valves work well to transfer water into the sump below? I was playing around with ideas last night, and I think that I would like to just have them all open and flowing with no valves.

Yes, they actually worked perfectly. Plus it wasn't that noisy at all. I think because the water flowed out of the bulkhead horizontally, then elbowed at 45 down into the next tank.
