    Got a little work done under the stand today. I went and drilled a hole in the cross member of the stand to run the fuge inlet thru. the end fitting on the tubing, im hoping to find the female part to, so i can make a spray bar, if not it will remain how it is. itll be hooked up to a maxi 600 sitting next to my skimmer.

    The acrylic cylinder will remain there in the fuge. I will add the DSB around it. This will give a little cave for algae and pods to accumulate, as well as to put lr in.

    Basic electrical strip and light for under the tank.

    Quick update. Tested the flow of the return a few weeks ago, and i like what I see from the mag 7. I also moved the tank into the bedroom. Its the only place that I could put it. Heres the view from my bed. Ill be falling asleep to an ocean soon ;D. [​IMG]
