Hey, that's a problem that will never go away!! The more corals you can afford, the more you will want to buy!

Re: from the begining to now!

well I haven't added any photos lately on the tank showcase thread because as a lot of you know i had to move and breakdown the tank and relocate. It was a little stressfull to say the least. But I got to add my sump with a fuge so I hope things will become better with time now. Thanks to Alex, Yote and ccCapt for all their suggestions and help!!!
so enough rambleing and more photos!!!!

Built new sump, MAg 5 pump and overflow


the new stand, minus the front doors, they are being made by my brother.


the holding tank for the move. 10 gallon w/ the skimmer and powerhead and heater


the original plumbing....Which was done wrong by me!!!! Had to re-do it.


the holding tank for the live rock ! $8.00 can't beat that.


the overflow and returns


the double ended MH ballast.


tanks final resting spot!!


the new plumbing


the FUGE section of the sump. The light looks a little yellow. I will check Melevsreef.com for the correct household lamp.


Full Sump view


the NEW set up.

Re: from the begining to now!

they are entering at the sump??????? I put a small bag that you can hold carbon in with a piece of the blue/white filter pad on the skimmer side and they stopped a little , or just made them smaller. And in the fuge side I put the filter pad right inside the output to slow them down there????? But there is no bubbles in the overflow at all ???
