    Hey Bama,

    Looking good - Did you trim that eggcrate around the rock? I swear it looks like you did.

    The eggcrate and piping in between the rocks intrigues me. If there is a detailed explanation about it and what it does, just point me in the right direction and i will find it to save you from repeating yourself.

    You really do nice work! Just hope you did not need a Zantac after all the beer wine and pizza :) Looking forward to keeping an eye on the progress now that youve begun.

    Thank You.
    The eggcrate was only trimed around the bulkheads, and the rock is sitting on it..
    The piping is my circulation/flow system giving random flow to the tank without the use of powerheads..

    lol, I always take zantac(150) after a night of pizza beer and wine!
    Thanks again for the kind words..;D

    Looks great, Bama! Can't wait to see it full of life. Any stocking ideas yet?
    Man, I've been trying to get my 75 going for months, just been too busy to get anywhere with it.
    Good luck with the rest of your build.

    That's a lot of 90's on the closed loop, will reduce flow. Very well done though, nice and clean. What kind of pump are you using for it? I am removing mine, have to get some motivation going to cap mine off, but I was using a ReeFlo Dart (3600gph) - and it was just enough to provide flow for the entire tank, but that was all I was using.
