Looking great so far. I may have missed the pictures with the supports, and I know you must have already covered this, but I'm a little concerned about the weight of the tank.

ill take more pix, its right on a steal i beam and has 3 extra supports w metal and all...

thanx man... now that its filled i kind of can't do it right? i'll just have to glue/epoxy corals to it and let them grow on to it,, thinking caps and sps..


whats a good heater i can get for this system?

650 gallons i believe maybe a little less

great! thanx man, any particular brand to get?

i always ran renas but i've been running the blueline for over 2 years now and no problems its just a little off on the settings but once you get the temperature you want it will maintain it and hold that temperature and keeps the settings in memory even if you unplug it

look for vortech mp60, the one pump will take care of whole tank and just put on side

just got a flip video... here are some quick ones i took to get a much better idea of the system:

so... I need a cover for my over flow box, probably a screen for fish not to jump... (will upgrade to LED in the future)

I need to somehow install the unions where the socks are under water.. They create way too much splash, that the reason for the shirt and styrofoam i place up there.. Bio balls will be gone soon.. cheato added and so on.

thats an amazing tank u got going there cuz videos look good will definetly b the center of attention from now on

 

[ducati335i]

thanx again.. im a little bummed about my sand... im hoping its "good"...... the person who setup most of my tank, and now im correcting/changing a lot said i had to use this sand so it would stay grounded...

but will it be hard to upkeep? can i just vaccum it every so often and not worry about a system crash.. ugh.... its 1.45-3.35 mm in size

lets see some updated pics. the sand bad might of been a little to deep
