Very nice!!! Soon time to pop in some rock!

 

[coralseas]

i have about 100 pounds of keilani curing and about 100 pounds of fiji to work with i think im going to drill holes in the rock and plug them together with acrlik rods

and i have all my fish waiting in qt tanks, i have 20 fish or so,,,

It looks like you have the return from your sump coming in under your overflow box. That is a fairly large decrease in water level when the return pump is off. Make sure you have enough excess sump capacity for that ...

 

[coralseas]

sure do,, made sure of it when i put in my baffles ,, and put in a cheak valve in too.. but you know they dont work that great

 

[coralseas]

ok well i have pics of the rock,,

my kool helper

That is a crazy amount of tangs...

 

[coralseas]

got to love them tangs

 

[roscoe]

That is alot of tangs in a 90g I don't feels so bad now that I have a Powder Blue in a 40b :badgrin:

 

[Kannin]

That may be alot of tangs but, I think that the way you set it up... it works. They seam to have a ton of swimming room.

 

[coralseas]

well all the fish have bin together for a few days now, and i have not seen any fighting and they look alot happier than when they where in 20 gallon qt tanks,,,just need to get my mbv timer and then she will be all plumbed in ,, just cant wait to get it my frags in..

 

[salmonslayer]

[nemoisfound]

too bad you and chad couldn't watch it get sucked in.. then maybe you could see his crazy face again! Nice work D.

 

[nemoisfound]

[MC Lighting]

looks cool yeah I was worried I had too many tangs in the 180 now I don't feel so bad, you are also another perfect argument for my other thread about the power failures causing complete loss hope all goes better for you this time around keep the pics coming.
