Hello everyone sorry for the late response. I started to fill the the tank up and also took some pic's on how I hooked up my 10g to the 30g. Here are some pic's so far , waiting on some live rock I order that should be here on wed . Hope to take better pic's once the water clears up and the lights are fully on . I'll also let everyone know about how loud it is once fully running .

If I can make a suggestion.............the 10g sump has the bulkhead drilled and installed. The 90 degree elbow on the outside of the tank facing down could restrict some flow. You should replace it with a 'T'. The 'T' should have one stem facing down and one facing up. You can put a cap on the 'T' and drill a small 3/16" or even a 1/4" hole in the cap. Or don't cap it, it'll just be a bit louder.
What all this does is creates a vent for the water to flow more consistent (no flushing). Otherwise, everything looks real nice. Can't wait to see it running.

Well i'm finally done :thrash: .I want to thank everyone who helped me with there idea's, I would like to thank the guys at Greenwich Aquaria for helping with my micro bubble issue I was having from my closed loop. I went there sat. wow what a store ! Here are some pic's of my setup and some from the store. Also after starting everything up you can only hear a soft hum from the pump running the closed loop. It doesn't bother my girlfriend while we are sleeping so it's all good..lol Enjoy the pic's :biggrin:

what time where you there? I was there around 1pm or so.. I'm hoping to go full reef with this tank, but going to start slowly. lol better him than me if my girl would have seen that thing she would have wanted me to get it .
I was in the store about 2:30. There is no way I would put a mantis that big into my tank. I would never clean it again and any coral that fell would be on it's own 
they did not even bag it, they put it in a salt bucket and sealed the lid.
starting slow is good. are you going to use 2 part or get a ca reactor?
