    thought i would share a little project that ive been working on for the past few weeks.
    i bought a intex 10'x30" above ground pool for me and my 4yr old daughter to play in the summer in.
    Now im a reefer,so naturally i ordered a 2500gph pump (replaced stock 500gph pump) and also a saltwater chlorine generator. it pretty much takes care of adding chlorine to the pool. just add pool salt and it runs for a hour a day changing the salt into chlorine. then the chlorine turns back into salt. the cycle is never ending.

    heres some pics of my build.

    ill take some pics of the filter and saltwater filter tonight.

    Next project is replace those NASTY brickpavers that come off the back deck.

    Awesome tank! What were you planning to put in that? That looks like it'd be a good stingray pool.
