Thanks Steve! I hear you got the G4 Radions. How are they compared to the Hydra's?
I picked up 3 G4 Pro units and have been running for 1 week now. Very very impressive...every1 seem to to be extremely happy and milliporas are super hairy now than before. The color is soooo much better and very bright conpared to my 52 non-HD units. I'm very pleased with my new upgrade bud :)!

I think I'm going to run 2 Hydra 52's, 3 Kessil 360WE, and 4 T5 bulbs on this tank for the time being. I might go with G4 Radions in a year or 2.

As for the T5's Im thinking 2 ATI Coral Plus and 2 KZ Fiji Purple. What do you guy's/ gals think?

for the T5 bulbs mixed with LEDs, I'd go with 3 blue plus and purple. Look into the Geissmann Aquablue Azure to replace one of the blue plus. It's my favorite all around bulb. Similar to the Coral plus but with a little more blue.

Ok! Finally done with the plumbing!!! I took a week off from the tank but now I'm back on track. I'll be cycling by the end of the week. Hopefully there will be no leaks.

Drilled the overflow and added flow accelerators





Manifold done!

Nice build. What size pipe did you use for the return?
