    Well I got worried about staining the glass with hard water stains, so I built my return and durso stand pipes. Along with a makeshift sump. I got it turning over now, although its only around 400gph. A long cry form the mag 9 it will have.

    Well I picked up my sump/fuge, protein skimmer, and reactor today. After dinner I plan on running to home depot to get a power strip so I can plug it all in. Pictures to come later...

    Man, that's definitely one slick looking tank. Can't wait to see some fish in it!

    Oh yea, that light is temporary. Im thinking about buying a light from a guy in town. Hes got a 72" MH fixture, 3 150watt and then 4 PCs. I would probably only use one on a daily basis, but when im showing off (lol) switch all 3 mh lights on. If I do decide to go with MH ill probably go for a 14k bulb of some kind.
