    True. I wonder since I'm running 2 returns off one pump if i should switch the fuge and return sections as well and bring that glass down to 8" as well.

    So it'd go: drain/skimmer -> fuge -> return

    Depending on the size of your return pump, you may want to leave it the way it is. If the return is after your fuge, your fuge is caught in the current.

    Got quite a bit done this week. Finished painting the back, got the tank inside, cut and installed the eggcrate and put the rock in the tank. Still need to plumb and get the glass cut for the baffles then it's time to get it wet.

    Haha I've done that more times than I can count.





    Thanks! Slowly but surely. As soon as I get my tax return in it's going to go a lot faster. Dang IRS, hurry up!

    Pretty productive night. Swung by HD and grabbed all my pvc. Mocked everything up before I tear it down and glue everything. Going to add a union to each drain line too.

    And of course my supervisors had to make sure I was doing everything right.

    Unless you're giving your equipment away for free, please don't list it as available in the general forums. Wait until you meet the requirements for the Marketplace and then list them there.
