    Is that a Reeflo Dart that you're using for the OM4?

    Very nice plumbing job. I am really amazed how much more space the 1"-2" plumbing takes up compared to stuff in the 1/4"-1/2" range.

    im running an amp master 6300 on one OM4 and and a barracuda on the other OM4 and a amp master 7500 for the return pump. i thought i was done plumbing but i have a few leaks and they are driving me crazy. any special glue or something i can use to seal the leaks there are a few leaks in some of my joints and i dont want to have to ruin any of my bulk heads cutting them out? as far as the lights go im thinking along the lines of a 16ft barn door track and attaching the one end to that and having hanging chains on the outer end and then i can slide my whole light setup out of the way to access the top of the tank. any help on the leaks would be great though. thanks all

    When I set up my closed loop I had a drip around a couple of the joints. Gorilla glue works wonders. Remove any visible water, and apply a nice bead of gorilla glue around the PVC joints (not too much though!!). It will cure just fine with some moisture as it requests you dampen surfaces anyhow. Just don't put too much on there as it expands. It fixed my leaks right up and they've been going 6 months without any signs of drippage.

    ok im sorry for taking so long at getting pics up. i have been really busy and had some more pluming problems and had to talk with paul at ocean motions to get my 4 way up and running. getting pretty far with the lighting. and i am going with a 16ft barn track so i can roll my whole light setup to the right so i can work on the tank at any time. i got my refuge in and its sitting infront of the sump. i also got my MRC skimmer up and running and its all looking good so far.

    well i know its been a long time. you know how it is. life is super busy. i got the wall done and have two fresh water fish in the tank now until i get a little more money to get the last OM4 and the salt and sand. the light setup is in and works great. its on a 16ft barn door track and i can roll the whole thing out of the way so i can acess the tank. where are the latest pics.
