+1 for this idea, Ive seen some pretty cool pics of the manifolds people make for driving their equipement like this.

 

Any updates? Looking forward to see how this is coming out....

 

Quick update spent about 10 hours off and on yesterday with my wife transferring from my old to the new and everything for the most part is set up. Aquascaping is not done by a long shot but it is a start, the two mountains on the left and right side are done and secure. Some quick shots with the p+s, they aren't the greatest but you get an idea.

The two mountains on the left and right are all base rock, everything in between is live, aquascaping is only done on the mountain which are about 18 inches high. Overall there is about 220 lbs of rock in right now, I have another 50 or 60 to put in if need be, but we'll see. Corals are in the sump right now, I am just too tired to even think about them, hopefully tomorrow they will be in the display. There is maybe a 1 inch sandbed if that, a few inches in the refugium, seeded with some of my old sand is added in to help seed.

The lights and the color is awesome, the point and shoot really made everything blue but the actual color is a very crisp white with just a slight hint of blue. I am very impressed and I can only imagine the colors are going to get better once the burn in happens. Hope you enjoy, man I am tired, I will never do an upgrade again.

Tank is kind of cloudy due to the microbubble explosion from the skimmer. It's an ASM G3, I have heard this can be an issue, and have already got the parts for the gate valve mod to reduce this. Hope you all enjoy

 

It's looking very nice.

 

That looks pretty sweet!

Overall I am extremely happy with how things are growing and looking, small diatom bloom at the moment but nothing to worry about. Other than that I hope you like it, let me know what you all think

 

Still looking good bud!
