back at it.. finally. ;)
So after almost a year's hiatus.
I am one with tank again.  Bit of info. 33 gallon system. custom made sump. 2MDQX return througha SQWD, MAK4 closed loop. Berlin skimmer for now. VHO's only till the tank is stable again. Then dual 10KK Ushios will go on. I am hoping to swap out the MAK4 and the 2MD for two T4's. I'll post a shot of the tank running when the sand settles again. But in the meantime here is the tank sans water etc.

The flow of the closed loop is awesome. Very hapy with it that is for sure.
For now the Ca demand will be kinda low. Not putting MH on there for a while. Need to buy a new M138 ballast so I can do the dual 250W Ushios I want. For now I'll let it stabilize and when it is ready throw the MH's on there. Yup I have been busy. lol to say the least. Sure looking good today. Slowly getting the rock set up the way I want it. Have waaay too much tho. lol Sump is filling fast.

Nice job Darren!
Hey how tall is your canopy? I am still building mine, the lights will be roughly 10 inches over the water line. I have two ice cap fans and I notice that you have 4 in there. I'm still worried about heat and I do not have an under the tank sump yet (Although the back of my canopy will also be open). Did you feel that you had to have the 4 fans or was it just for overkill? Can't wait to see it up and running! Best, Rob

Rob,
The canopy is about 6" high. Not much higher than that. I put four 4" DC fans in there as I know I will be putting a couple of MH's in there down the road. For now it's VHO's only. I have fought heat issues before and don't wnat to mess around this time. And she's up n running.. That is for sure. Chris, yeah they are. Ryland had them on there when I bought the tank and stand. Never took them off. lol
