Allow me...Hey George! Let me officially welcome you to SCR! Where's your intro thread? Head over to the Welcome Mat and tell us about yourself. Likes/dislikes, zodiac sign, experience, system setup, so on and so forth...lol.


BTW Mike is the biggest tease out of all of us. At least I have an excuse...my wife keeps me broke...Hahahahaha!
Have you guys not noticed that gorge has been a member for a little less then a year now. He just lurks.

Awww shoot Eric.... You're so right!
I humbly apologize, George! How very unobservant of me, only looking at post count... Hope you'll decide to become more active now & we still want to see pics of your setup! :)

Need help mike? Im going to have anal-glaucoma tomorrow.
Just saw you post. Thanks for the offer but just finshed. I didn't glue it yet. I'm still waiting on one more 1.5 inch ball valve on the drain pipe

Here is the sump layout so far. Drain comes down and T's off. 1st section refugium/deep sand bed to whatever (undecided). 2nd section is main tank drain(might possibly add filter sock). 3rd section is 24 x 26 x 10 equipment area thats always constant 10 inches of water. 4th section is return pump.

On the return pump I T off the return to feed my chiller also

I will share a few pictures soon since I transfered the tank but it's pretty bad. All sps browned out.
I did take advantage of the 10% off coupon to AquaCave this weekend and made a small purchase. I'll share a picture soon.
I ran my electrical to the closet behind my tank. Just have to clean up the wires

Mike, you're such a tease!
What was this "small purchase" of yours?

Looking good..what bulbs and are you running dual 250 or 400..
2 400w radiums with 4 actinics. Corals are recovering from switching tanks. Growth is awesome but color is coming back. I plumbed in chiller the other day so I bumped up mh lighting to 6 hours a day. Tanks 180 gallons but looks small. Wish I would have went 5 feet long instead of 4

Looking good, Mike! The tank looks so small in the pic. You need something in the pic for perspective. And I request a better pic of the stand. Too dark to see it. Does it just have one door that's almost 4' long?
And where are all the fish??? All I can see is what I think is the flame hawk perched on the powerhead.

Went attic crawling today. Had to install an exhaust fan in closet behind tank. 400 watt ballasts are too much for a small area. Have the exhaust fan set to come on with mh and run 30 minutes after they go off. Chiiler is also kept in closet behind tank.
