Thanks that should work. I dry fitted it and it puts the return almost to the front of the tank, might do a tee off the bulkhead and some 2x90s on both sides for the height.

Yeah it will extend out far especially with the adapter you have in the bulkhead that's why I say it's only temp same with asthetics too looks like crap lol


Looking good buddy

Let ther be light!!



The hydra 52 is awesome. I had to make my own mounting system because the one I bought doesn't fit or I'm totally not using it right.

My little helper making sure Nemo is okay.


Mostly finished


The gate isn't quite long enough so the bucket is holding it in place. I really need to make doors but I've run out of time.

All the plumbing is done, had two bulkheads leak on me so that took awhile to get them nice and tight. Slight gurgle in the herbie so I will have to make a gurgle buster for that. I also set up the tunze osmolator for the ATO and so far so good.

Need to do some major aquascaping but just wanted everything in. Looks I might need some more rock too.

I'm off to work so I won't be home for the next four days, I will be doing lots of FaceTime with my wife so I can make sure everything is running well.

I was home for one day and we went fish shopping. Here's my two new additions.



They are a little fast, sorry for the bluriness. I really like the sailfin tang.

The blue tang hid under a rock for about an hour, then I added some food and she came right out.
I also added two peppermint shrimp, but I'm sure I won't see them until night time.

Thanks for stopping by my thread and for the votes so far in the contest. I really appreciate it.

More updates to come as there's still a lot of work to do.

[coolhandgoose]

I figure I'd post a quick update.

I'm kind of stalled at the 90% complete stage, you know how that goes. Still have doors to do but we've been busy with yard work etc. at the moment.

The tank is really coming along. I'm using h2ocean salt now and the corals are really starting to thrive and colour up since their year of neglect in my basement.

Here are some pics.

Bubble coral (can't remember the name) with a finger leather frag.


Maxi mini anemone showing awesome colours with the led lights (colours I didn't know it even had)


As you can see I have some Kenya trees to chop down as its blocking some of the light getting to the nem. Also the acan is colouring up and has some new heads already.


Favia


Hammer coral starting to really come out, gsp in the background.


Torch
