You are really going all out! This has been so great watching you from start to finish. What is the tall tube to the right of the skimmer? Oh and one more question...where do you have room for YOU?? This has to be taking up every inch! Great job!

[Reticentregret]

im just more and more amazed.. good question how much have you invested now?

Bart,

You have created one AMAZING system, I really enjoyed going through your thread from start til present, I am so Jealous, The day I hit the lotto, I'm contacting you to come have a look and get an idea of what I wanna do

Amazing !!!

Keep them pictures coming my friend, I cant wait to see this tank in another 3 months with fish and corals stocking up

Can we say Tangs, Tangs, and more Tangs ?

[cbui2]

thanks Krazy K and Reticentregret,

water clearing up real good and reactor is kicking in too. i have it dial in about 700gph just tumbling around the media and trying not to stir it up. i had to shut down my skimmer since there was nothing left to skim. except the water.. also did some cleaning today and all i can say is the magnavore 10 is truly amazing piece. will be finishing up on the chiller this week, but i might just take a break for few days or not :eek1:

This is truly an awe inspiring tank. I have said this in another post but you are the posterchild of research and responsibility in tank preperation and setup up. I admire and respect your efforts and keep up the good work. And dont forget that you said we could come see it if we are in the neighborhood.

[countryjay]

was there a particular resource you used in determining your support tanks size and quantity

[cbui2]

[dfurbee]

What other fish are you planning for your tank besides the damsels?
