    -eshopps sump
    -all PVC plumbing
    - 2 120 watt reef breeders panels(love them so much)
    -mag drive 1200
    -coralife protein skimmer(currently in my tank)
    -deep blue sterilizer(currently in my tank)
    -1 eheim 150 watt heater(currently in my tank)
    -1 deep blue 150 watt heater(currently in my tank)
    some 15 watt led and another 10 watt led for my sump light

    In one of the pictures(it's hard to tell) the light is set on all blue and it makes all my corals glow bright green(in my 45g) and it's like a black light. I'm pretty happy with the sump outtake. Not so much with in the intake. I'm not going to be able to use a second union at the end and that bulkhead isn't pvc its some plastic stuff so i can't use pvc cement and it's not going to be under pressure so it's not the biggest loss, if it leaks i use some cheap aquarium sealant. However if i ever get rid of the sump I'm going to have to replace that whole bulkhead. But other wise I'm pretty happy and can't wait to fill it with water but i gotta clean it first. How do you guys clean new tanks? just vacuum it? best idea i got.

    Congrats on the tank, nice set up;) I ran mine with freshwater and bleach and let it run for a day, then emptied it, wiped it down and ran it with some freshwater with dechlorinator, then emptied than and filled it. Alot of money is getting ready to get poured into that tank, no sense in rushing;)

    Thanks for the comments. Bleach or any chemical 10 feet from my fish tank scares the crap out of me but you did give me a good idea to run it with tap water before making the switch so i get to look for leaks and cleans out dust and any other stuff. now for that picture of the overflow box cover. what? Those two slits stay open mater what level i bring that shield to. does that mean when i turn my pump off my water level needs to go to there? And for the output hose, What link should i drill my anti siphon hole?
