Looking good Joe. I think I see a few of my rocks in that wall.

RO/DI by Sunday? Are you sure or just kidding like Baggerhog?

very nicely done and is going to look great when covered in purple algae.

Despite my best efforts, the plumbing is not finished. I need two 1" street elbows and non of the local stores had them. I'll have to order them from Savko in the morning and finish up on Tuesday. I will probably start filling tomorrow either way as I'm sure it will take more then a couple days to fill it up.

interested in seeing more pics of your top-off "controls" on the sump.

I use one of these hooked to a solinoid ran directly from my RO/DI. I just modded the mounting bracket to mount a little cleaner to the sump.

thank you thats what I was looking for.

Water is flowing at 10:32am. Hopefully I'll have those drains plumbed by the time the water gets up to the overflows.

well if you dont then it would be like one of those fancy tanks with the water flowing down all the sides of the glass right I would just plug the drains up and go for that.

The wife would love it. Thanks for the idea. I'll get them plugged up tonight.

Actually it's all plumbed and the tank is 5" full after 9.5 hours. At this rate I am looking at turning the pumps on Friday night probably.

LET THERE BE LIGHT

And the plumbing is done enough to start running it. Still need to plumb in the reactors under the stand and the skimmer out in the garage.

Very nice. It will look especially cool when things are in and contrast off of the red walls.

Looking good Joe!

Thanks all. I think Sunday will be move day. Just need to start adding salt and getting the temp up. I'll be happy when everything is moved and I can get the big black tub out of here.

Very nice, Joe! I really like the rock background and the contemporary look of your pendant light fixtures/reflectors.

Joe, I love the rock background. The tank looks great and the rock and coral I got from you are doing awesome.

Awesome. Glad to hear it was put to good use. Shoot some pics when you get a chance.

Water should be flowing into the sump in about 2 hours.

Move is done.

More crappy pics.

That looks sweet! I like the aquascaping and the back wall. Very natural looking.

Just how I would envision a tank like that being set up. Awesome.
