Re: dustins first tank. 120 gallon(lots of pics)

i have now fixed the overflow problem, it turns out that one of the pipes in my overflow was starting to come lose from its hole, i dont know how but it was, and it was leaking water when the pumps where off, so i got that fixed and working now. so my next project will be getting the refugium design and kinks of the design worked out.
