Wow, coming along nicely.
Could you show in a little more detail how you have the GAC & GFO plumbed in, i can't see how you have the smaller pipework feeding those coming from the larger diameter main plumbing. And i'm pretty sure the 'Designer' in you is going to have to do something about that spaghetti of power cables , i'm looking forward to that too. Mine is a complete mess as i don't even have the DJ power block things. |

Top shelf stocking choices with brilliant color combinations, gorgeous design, amazing ingenuity and blueprinting, epitome of my jealousy! Thanks for sharing.

Oh cool! I got your thread update notification on my email.
The sponges are so pretty. Now I have something else to swoon over aside from your gorgeous sump area. And look at your urchin, he's saying hello to the scallop. :-) How's the urchin doing? Is he roaming all around yet? Thanks.

And that's funny about the wires because I was thinking to myself that the pic looks worse than it really is. I do have most of the cables tied up and out of the way. Definitely neater than my last tank.

Tank is looking good. Curious to what your feeding plan is going to be for the sponges?
Thanks Mike

They keep moving around. I know one of them was under the rock shelf behind a big sponge. Not sure where the other one was.

Dennis, how is the flow working for you... I see the sand in the front corner is being blown by the Vortechs... Good, bad in different...?

That might be worth someone trying as an experiment, but I'm not picturing it as being an any better than what I have now as far as the amount of flow throughout the tank. Plus this would have compromised the water skimming part of the overflow.
I currently have the pumps in reefcrest mode set to anti-sync and it's working out pretty good so far. No complaints.

Love the video!
Can't wait for the sump video *hops from foot to foot* You have some great flow in there. I think my favorite sponge you have is the little orange one in the shape of a ball. It's so cool looking and the color is great. Glad to see your urchin doing his thing. :-)

Great looking tank. What are your thoughts on your I-Tech skimmer?
