Ok sick and tired of my left side of my tank and I needed to make it easier to get detritus out. Took All the stuff out first
 
still have to figure out what to do with the coral but. needed to redrill the holes on the spraybar and clean out the pump. now I can take out the pump easily.
 
Looks good Brad!!!!!! You know if was you I would take the Tunze thats on the Left (if your facing it) and drop it behind the rock pile. that way you would only get a build up on the opposite side.

looks look very nice. I like what you did with the eggcrate and the LR.
 
I have a pump with a spray bar behind the rock and it pushes the detritus out to the front.
 
I think you are gonna like it. Just for grins, you should put in a pic of what it looked like before so old guys like me don't have to go in search of. :):)
It looks good, I like the egg crate shelf.
 
the shelf is kind of temp for now while setting up a frag tank. It actually didn't look much different but THe coral location and the easy removal of the pump under the rock. I took it apart and the spraybar was full of crap and the pump was really dirty. It is keeping everything out ok now and Now I just need to get the flow up to 5000 gph or so from 2500.
 
lookin good brad. It's interesting how we go from wanting the rockwork a certain way to wanting it to allow for easy detritus removal. Makes perfect sense, but I know I wish I would've known that the first time out. It's always a hassle to rearrange the rock.

Anyway. Great job on it. Looks like it'll treat you well.
 
thanks reed. Always thinking of filtration. Jesse there is a red table in there but you are probably talking about the two A. Efflo's. solid plating tables.
 
I just re arranged mine to get peppermint shrimp out oh what a mess hope it looks better I know I will have to rearrange again as it got hard to even see things and I wasn't prepared I did not have enough buckets as my coral is attached to larger rocks I may change that after seeing what you've done It gives me hope Thank's for the pictures :)
