    its pretty easy to set up. As long and its pulled taught on the sides. I used black duct tape to secure it. Use this on my 46bf and 55 as well

    so the only thing ive really had an issue with is the scwd units. there is on in each of the overflow's and they are connected to loc-line. one of them makes a buzzing sound sometimes but they do not switch at all. ive never had any experience with these things before. should I try to soak them in something to see if they are just gummed up? or is it time to replace these things?

    I would try it. I read that the SCWD is pretty cheaply made. One grain of sand and it can strip the gears. That being said Greg and Renee at lionfish lair LOVE them.

    Wow you did a great job with that tank. It looks like a totally different tank than the pics of it at the old owners house.

    Yeah. I was thinking its much cheaper to put two new units in place than to buy two vortech's:)
