This picture frightens me. The way that you have that float valve mounted on that tank just doesn't look secure to me. If the float valve were to float upward and rotate or flip, you would just keep feeding water until something bad happened. I think you would be better off just bulkheading that float switch directly into the tank wall.

there is weight in that basket thing too keep it from doing that i agree with you though if i had room in the sump it would be in there but i had to squish the maxi jet in there for the phos ban reactor and that was the last of the room in there

after tons of reading i hate too say it but i have lots of majano in my tank it sounds like the only way too really get rid of them is too tear the tank down and cook the live rock. There are too many too just pick them off the rock so thats out of the question anyone have any ideas?

I changed my auto topoff a bit I added a powerhead too pump too the tank and changed the float

and this excites me the most one of my only sps is turning blue it was an ugly brown i dont know if the pic is very good but trust me its turning blue

Removing algae from the glass is a bit of a pain in the *ss. You have to keep up with it. If you get lazy and leave it a few days+ then you're in there up to your armpit with a scrubber.

Can you fill me in on how all your lights and pumps etc are plugged in! Thats a great looking tank. i've been wanting to put my tank in the middle of the room but am still working on hiding all the cords.

That tank has a center overflow, I'll bet they are plugged into power bars underneath the tank and run off of one cord.
