    Seano Hermano- yes, I have two EB8's mainly because the previous system had the sump plumbed outside and I needed to control equipment inside and outside. We will see if I need so many outlets now!

    Finally I spent most of the weekend, with maybe 8 hours total sleep, putting the system together. Here is a picture of my DIY Durso.

    Anyone who ever debated on going with Vortech pumps, don't. They are amazing in performance!

    Water in! Two different exposures here to show the tank and the cabinetry. More system pics to follow when I have time.
