On your closed loop, with a tank that big If you plan on drilling or doing a combination of over the top & drilling either way I'd go bigger, the dart won't be enough, I have the 4200 series which is slightly larger in volume ok for my tank but I wouldn't go with it on larger.. CA reactor, you may look into the GEO reactors @ premium aquatics. Other that that, your looking awesome! Show us pictures! :D
 
Excellent , excellent work, nice work on the set-up! That is just awesome, the wood work is real nice, where did you get that carpenter?
 
I see you live in Lake Arthur La. and by the reflection off your tank you live right on the lake! :D Beautiful tank you have going there, nice carpentry work :)
 
Crawfish your tank is so beautiful and i love your house. I saw pics in your previous thread and your house looked amazing and it was still under construction at the time. Nice work!! Can't wait to see it in a year!
 
The contractor that built my house does all of his own cabinets. I got him together with lfs to build what I was looking for. I am very pleased with the set-up. I put a exhaust fan in the lighting cabinet to expell some of the heat to outside and it seems to work pretty good. I also had him put me an area for a fridge to keep all my fish stuff and a few beers in my office.:D I find my self sitting in the living room watching the aquarium more than the television:)
 
Jason, finally found your picture gallery. Nice job with the tank! Let me know if you need directions to the meet next sunday. Or u can find them posted on the lareefclub site. later--Ian
