Wes's 100g Build Thread

Alright, after a couple month break, I'm back at it. Shattering the back of my new tank was a minor setback but I had birthday recently and got a deep blue 80 rimless - I've attached some photos of my progress so far, got a good amount of the plumbing done and will update progress over the weekend.

 

Nice tank, congrats. It's has that lagoon look, shallow.

 

Anyone see any issues in cycling without the sump? I'm going to use my 30L which is my frag tank at the moment and obviously can't put the corals in until it's cycled

 

Water going in

 

Anyone have a suggestion for a new return? I cranked up the mag 18 and it was way too loud - I've seen some good reviews on the eheim 1262 for an 80g - would this be the best choice as far as a solid, quiet internal return pump?
