    Haha, MICROBUBBLES! I'm sure you'll take care of that.

    I'm loving this build, I've always dreamed of a split bullnose tanks in an entryway or something. Keep it up, and kudos to your wife for staying with it.

    Wow, great build, congratulations! Looks like that sump you picked up was from Max down at Aquarium Showroom, I know he had a lot of equipment for great prices. If you haven't done it, check out the local forums, there is BAR and NCRC, swaps, meetings great source for coral, and advice. Can't wait to see how you stock these tanks.

    That is indeed where I got it. I had one minor leak issue, but took care of it pretty easily.

    I signed up in January, but haven't contributed. I just went over there and introduced myself. Thanks for the nudge in that direction :)

    I'm definitely going! Going to be tough, though. I won't be able to buy anything!

    Oh, just buy it, and have it either shipped to you when you are ready, or pick it up. When there is a will there is a way..... aren't you the guy who had a LFS hold a 1/4 ton of liverock for a year? lo.....l

    Now you're just exaggerating... it wasn't a 1/4 ton, it was 485 lbs and that included the protein skimmer and packing materials :)
