I Still have a little work to do ...
1.) I need to plumb the chiller in so that i have a use or don't use option...
2.) Also you will notice my old hood and lights are on top right now...
My LED stands are being welded... about a month out...
3.) Replace Door Hinges
4.) Add a power Center
 
Fast .. Did not fill that way ...
Was very busy and non stop working on it.. lol
And i was ready and had everything in place...



Rock Work:
You will get a better idea once i post a top down... That will be a while due to the wait for the LED Stands
I love the top down look.. and I should have taken a Pic BUT i had to get lights going for now...


Left Side.. You will note the tunnel I put in place... My NEM loves that Rock and still have not moved.
Also note a separation of back rock and front rock Islands ( Top down would show this nice.. )

Right Side ..
I hate that BIG Massive Purple rock ... Will Probably take it out eventually ... But i thought it best to leave it as it is live and will help Cycle the New DEAD FIGI i put in

Below is a rough layout of the rock work and water flow..

I really like those dem. 30 wide lets you do alot with rock work. I am really thinking about a 6' or 7' X 30X 18.
 
I got the Tunnel idea from the one i bought the Nem from .. he had another tank with a BIG tunnel...

Not very noticeable up front but i the two front rocks have Monti on the top corner... I an hoping when those grow out they will form a natural coral tunnel...

...time will tell....
 
That was my old tank [smilie=crying.gif] Oh how I miss it.... It's a great tank, take care of it!
 
Yep .... I followed the tank back through the sales ....
I'll have this tank tell my wife makes me get rid of it ...

Then I'm sure going to miss her ...
 
I just did a complete re plumb on the out put...
Basically i took it from the return pump and T off .. one going strait to the tank then one going to the UV and Chiller both valued controlled so that I can adjust one or the other.. and or just take the chiller and UV out of the loop at any time..

Now having said that .... I tested both valves and with the chiller and UV value off and the direct tank return full open... if that is a 12 MAG 1200 GPH i am Betty White...

tanking the return pump apart and cleaning did not do a thing.. lol ... larger pump will be forth coming i think..

Having said that .. i Put the UV light on a timer... re wired the entire tank ....

I am ready for my LED Stands....
 
Seems i am going to have to build a screen cover....
Every morning i walk into my office and pick snails off the ground and put them back into the tank...

really wanted to keep the rimless look....
 
WP - 40 and new Fuge light went in today ..
Welder buddy came over and drew up my lights stands for my LEDs
All plumbing completed to my specs

Once I get my lights in I will be rearranging rock work
