    Plumbing is still planned for Wednesday (as long as work doesn't get in the way).

    I can believe it. The 200gal boxes of ReefCrystals weigh 56lbs each. Thankfully the plastic bags are only 14lbs and I'm going to have a pump to mix things up.

    I finally made the time to roll through all the posts from post 1 on this Today.

    I see that is a custom DT, who made that? I built my own plywood/ epoxy glass front in wall 193g tank, and I looked at both Mirackles in glass, and Glass cages.

    Ultimately, I went with pure DIY because I had the time.

    Mine should be water testing this week, and filled from my existing 90g by the 26th of this month.

    I read through this thread from start to finish last week. But I can't seem to find the dimensions for the DT. I see where you were talking with the lfs owner on sizes. So what are the DT dimension( sorry if it's in here and I missed it)?

    Matt:confused:

    yeah we had a pump to i was just trying to be stupid and pick an entire bucket of reef crystals up and dump it in the top while on a ladder, I'm 6'3" but the top of this thing is closer to 7', got the bucket over my shoulder when i felt a pop, just got released from physical therapy for the 2nd time today, 1st time was pre-op this time was post reconstructive surgery

    yah it's alot better now, pretty much good as new just not quite as strong yet but working on that, technically it was billed as a full right shoulder recronstruction with labral repair, bill was enough to buy a new mustang gt and do some customizations or maybe a 700g reef tank lol
    :p
