Some Closed Loop and Plumbing pics. Nothing too fancy. Its all about 90% done now. Really just need to plumb the skimmer and then test it all out. I am going to start by testing the closed loop later on tonight or tomorrow morning. The closed loop does not have the 45 degree fittings on the ends of the output yet except for the one close up pic. I also threw in a few pics of my fish and gecko...he does not really like the water too much

    He was puffed up so HUGE but by the time I got the camera, this was all that was left of the "puffiness"...Too bad. He was about double this size and had all kinds of spikes.  Our 2 year old Gecko named "Velcro". He has become such a cool gecko. He loves our cats. They have regular morning meetings in the corner of his terrarium. The cats will go to the same corner every morning and scratch on the glass, the gecko comes over and jumps on the glass right infront of them! He would be a terrible wild gecko I think, he really does not realize they probably want to eat him! Or maybe he does and is teasing them!  Last edited by GreenSpottedPuffer; 11-10-2007 at 11:30 PM.

Maybe my only real big regret so far is that the overflow silicone is clear and not black. Clear still of course shows up but black would have been really nice looking! Im still debating ripping it out and then redoing it black but I also want to get this thing done so...Might just have to live with it! Its all I can see though

He is actually not too huge yet...about 8", maybe 9 max. He still has a lot of growing up to do. Hopefully he will not outgrow this tank before I can upgrade. So far he has grown about 6" in 9 months. I thought that was a bit slow but he seems very healthy and happy so Im not too worried. Actually I am hoping that hes a "runt" and stays smaller. Maybe about 13" or 14"...I can only hope though! My eel is pretty big too...haha

I don't know which pump that photo is...but I don't see any valves on the intake or output. Stop and think about how you are going to remove/clean/replace that pump once the tank and pipes are full of water...

Also...I think you need a larger strainer on that CL intake. If you can't find a larger strainer, put a T on the intake and put two of those strainers on. As is, the amount of suction you'll have there makes that a deathtrap for lots of critters.
