ditto, looks great. i'd be interested in a hang on sock holder also when i set up my new 180 gal tank. also i might need a protein skimmer stand. it's to bad your not closer for the sump build, you do some beatiful acrylic work. keep it up marc.

Marc, are there any calculations or formulas tables that tank and sump builders use before sump/tank designs are approved and built ? Example, this sump is 60" long ... should I use 2" or 3" euro bracing ? Does it need to be thicker or can it be thinner without bowing ?
I think sexy is the right term for this. Makes me wish you were closer so you could build my sump.
Sweet looking sump. Hey Marc, you think you could make a hang on the side sock holder. I would like to be able to run a sock when doing glass cleaning and such. However, my acrylic weld jobs still leave much to be desired.
Jeremy here. We've met at MAX last year. You interviewed my booth-mate Alan about his diy two part doser. Anyway I'll stop by the booth, and I'll bring the Crown
Thanks y'all.
beautiful pictures marc, i'm sure you can't wait to get your new tank set up. the pictures of the tank look awsome. i know you'll make it all come together, look at all the work youv'e done already. amazing.
Good picture, I like the picture of the favia. If only Costa Mesa wasn't so far away, I would make the trek. oh well have fun....
Your corals on their worst day, look better than mine on their best day ! Can't wait to see the new tank setup and running.
Nice shots, good luck with the new tank. Can't wait to see it!
Nice pictures, bet your excited to get the tank.
Very nice pictures Marc! ;-)
I'm looking forward to it. BE SURE to let us know who you are, stating your real and username. I'd really like to put some faces to these names I see.
Nice shots! See you in OC this weekend!
The RO unit could push the head height no problem with no real noticable drop in pressure... What like 1-3% per 3 foot.. I would say use a good recirulation pump from top to bottom to mix and just have a way to mix a strong slurry of heavy wet salt and ro into the system that could be put outta the way or under a table or on a cart. so you dont have to use the ladder to dump in at the top. Using a tee where you could put two valves one to inject and one to use..
Thanks for the heads up.

Marc, the wires have to be secured 6" from any box or termination. elsewhere they just have to be supported, and laying on top of a truss, or going through a hole in a stud qualifies. I can quoat you chapter and verse from work tomorrow you want. Phil
If you can get each attendee to bring a frag, those can be raffled off to raise a little cash for the club. Most (if not all) of the items on our raffle table were purchased for the raffle. I donated the RO/DI system as part of my sponsorship agreement with the club.
