Re: MikMcgyver's 125 Build
Gonna be like 2 weeks before I can get water in it... Gotta get my skimmer and scrounge up some temp lighting to get the cycle started.. The lights I am getting are a bit pricey, so I have to save a bit for them.. Gonna still take pics of the build up, so I will keep ya'll in the loop..

Re: MikMcgyver's 125 Build
Started to do the plumbing a bit today. The tank builder forgot to ship the bulkheads for the top left and top right returns so I have to wait a couple of days to install them..
 The 2 straight thrus are for the returns at the bottome of the overflow box. The 2 with the diverters on em are for the top of the overflow box..   I have a total of 4 returns, 2 in the middle and 2 on the outsides, top left and right....For the center ones I was thinking about using the loc-line(think thats what they are called) with the splitters and 2 diverters on each. On the outside ones I was thinking about using the Hydor Flo diverters...  Tell me what ya think. Should I use these or just some basic flat diverters?

Re: MikMcgyver's 125 Build
I don't really like those Hydor flo-rotators.They tend to get stuck,personally I would go ahead an use the loc-line.

Re: MikMcgyver's 125 Build
Did a test fit on the sump after the kid crashed on the couch.....
  IT FITS!!!! And the beauty of it is I can take the sump out thru the front door, dont have to put it in thru the back, was worried I would have to drain half the tank to be able to move the tank and stand. Ordered my skimmer today, that should be here by monday....Now in looking at lighting.. Still havent decided whether to go MH or t-5's...

Re: MikMcgyver's 125 Build
Wow. That's fancy. All those tubes, cubes, valves, and things. I'd never be able to figure all that stuff out. Looks awesome!

Re: MikMcgyver's 125 Build
When I was out at the LFS I was freakin out too when I saw all the parts he was tossing up on the counter. After walking it thru it was suprisingly simple on the setup... If I can figure it out, anyone can...
