    It's really coming along.

    I take it the third PVC 90 is the return from the sump.

    No, all three are drains. The returns nozzles are on either end of the tank. It's a tripple redundant overflow to eliminate the possibility of a tank overflow.

    Here is where I got the idea.

    Living so close to the LFS is not good.

    New tank inhabitants.

    I'm pretty much done with fish, I'm having them get me a yellow watchman and I am going to be full up on fish I do believe.

    The LFS called this a Leopard Goby but It doesn't match what I looked up on the net. Took a pic in the bag cause I figured he'd go hide under or behind a rock and he did.

    Yellow Watchman Goby. I think I'm stocked on fish now and I'm waiting on a new light fixture to come in before I add more corals.

    Was bored the other day and shot some little videos, nothing special. I don't know how to edit so there isn't any cool music or anything, just the sound of the fans in the light fixture. :( And youtube really downgrades the quality of the video. (scratch that I just found the watch in high quality button ;D)
