    This is my new toy Thanks to Reefgoddess. It is 2'x3'x14.5". It has a built in sump area so the area that I actualy have to place my corals and such is 2'x2'x14.5".

    I made sort of a "spraybar" that extends on 2 sides of the the tank which will be connected directly to the return pump and at the same time I get water movement in the tank. I also added bio-balls to the overflow section.

    I'm still awaiting the delivery of my waterpump and some other doodads so this is where it sits as of tonight!

    It looks really good so far. I like how you set it up. Did you think about putting live rock rubble instead of the bio-balls?

    I'm actually doing both. In the rear section of the sump area, I'm going to be putting in a few pounds of LR and a bit of LS along with some Chaeto!
