Great job and gorgeous tank. Can't wait to get one a few years from now.

Thanks guys. I was given the wrong size drain pipe so I am waiting for the larger one to come from Elos. Right now for the drain pipe I am using a short piece of PVC that I had lying around and it sounds like a waterfall in my living room.
Lol. I need to go to home depot and pick up some plumbing parts for the refugium today. I will show you guys some pics once I get the sump set up.

What a beaaaauty!!! I hope to one day own something similar. I noticed that you painted the back of the tank. What kind of paint did you use. Is it safe? Another question: How are you cycling your tank? Whats the first fish going into your tank? I like how its coming along.... more pictures please!

Thanks! I used regular rustoleum paint. All of the paint is on the outside of the glass so there should be no toxicity issues. As for cycling, fortunatly I have another tank in my house so I am using a lot of water from that setup to really pick up the cycling process. I also dumped a few cubes of mysis in the tank. All of the rock was dry so it will take a little bit longer to cycle. Once I start stocking the tank I will be sure to update with fish pics

Any new pics?

Here are a few pics of the sump. Everything still needs to be cleaned up a bit but it was time to finally get it up and running. The skimmer is driving me crazy with micro bubbles so I stuck a sock on it. Hopefully the bubbles stop and I can take the sock off. I still need to get a automatic doser and some macros for the refugium. I am thinking about getting the bubble magus doser. What do you guys think of bubble magus?

Beautiful setup! Good luck!!

Gl with the set up ..I'm upgrading to the Elos 70 real soon.. U might want to upgrade that mp10 to a mp 40

 

[rhudgins]

I will post some updated pics tomorrow. I have a mp40 and a mp10, I just didn't have it on the tank when I first started cycling. I think that should be plenty of flow for the tank.
