New full tank shot, taken tonight 8/14/10. It's finally coming together!
Front.


This is the side that's viewable from the entry and kitchen. I know the cords look sloppy, but keep in mind we still have no canopy. Temporary lights = temporary cords. lol

For the last two days I've been sick and my normal standing in front of the tank for hours has been reduced. I just fed the tank, cleaned the glass and went back to the couch. Today I was feeling better and spent some time after feeding and I noticed my Royal Gramma didn't eat, come to think of it I hadn't see him the last two days. So I started looking and found him dead under a rock, as soon as I moved the rock he floated to the surface. I've had him two years and the previous owner had had ...

In Stage One, I discussed ordering the new tank: http://www.reefaddicts.com/entry.php...18#comment5018

Stage Two is ordering the stand. It took a while to get the welder over, but he and I discussed the entire plan and he's going to get back to me with a quote.

I just finished placing my order for the second to last piece of our automatic water change system; a HDPE Heavy Duty Horizontal Leg tank. Last purchases are actual plumbing parts, but I've learned my lesson about pre-ordering before I've figured out 100% what I'm trying to accomplish.

Just picked up my new 80g tank. Never had to use a sump before so I was wondering what my max gph should be? Im going with an Eheim so would it be better to go with a 1250 (317gph) or do a 1260 (635gph) with a ball valve in between?

Ive heard that you want a lower gph for your return to let the skimmer work right? The tank will have mostly LPS and fish.
