    Actually YES - I have the tank almost fully setup - some rock, sub, and the fish. The back side of the tank is a mess but.....

    Thank you!

    As you can see with the new pics - I went a little overboard with the support beams in the back of the tank... Better safe...

    Ok so you gave me an itch I had to scratch!!! lol, I upped the flow on the secondary filter loop by an additional 100GPH.. The phos reactor is def hopping a bit more but looks like it may actually have benefited the line a bit. We will see how the temps do. I would imagine they stay the same. Thank you for your input by the way, I appreciate the help. Its always good to get everyones opinion.

    Also everyone, I am Jay by the way (ewww that rhymed!) lol.

    I'm just guessing by what I see on the screen. You seem like you do your home work so you probably know better than me. Just be sure to check recommended flows by the manufacturers and that all your stuff is happy. I see you use white phos stuff. That's aluminum right? Well GFO needs to tumble or it will stick together, but too much tumbling will wear it down. So just bee sure your stuff can tumble like that.

    Everything is looking great...... and I just gotta ask...... where did you come across a pen chart recorder? Never seen them on this application. We used to have chart recorders on everything in the plant... but that is all old school. Everything is digital now.

    Didnt know that stuff was aluminum! Good to know.... (thank you) The material is gently bouncing around. Will have to take a video so you can give me your opinion. I LOVE MY CHART RECORDER LOL.. I actually had a client that GAVE it to me a long time ago and it has been laying around so...... Kind of nice, gives me the chance to see what sort of temp swings I get from lights, AC unit, etc... And when I am gone for a day or two I can point a finger if something goes wrong.

    I'm sort of jealous. A real Powerman should have a chart recorder in his home.;D

    I do have trending on my AC Jr. So I can look at the data log.... still jealous though.;)
