Tank in place and plunbed.
Thanks to Mark _c for helping me out.
Still need a few clamps so hoses don't fly off.
Will post pics after I cleanup the mess.

Wow! Nice job. I bet you can't wait to fill it up. What skimmer did you get?

 

[MadReefer]

It came with the Eshopps sump and RO110 skimmer.

That the same spacer saver skimmer I am looking to get. I need to order my skimmer soon so I can work on my sump baffles. Do you think you will start filling by the weekend?

 

[MadReefer]

I hope to start filling and using some existing tank water.

I have an Eshopps skimmer currently. I am going to see which I like better and sell the other. I do tend to like RO though.

That looks real nice in the corner like that. Can’t wait to see it lit up

Are these safe to use?

Thanks, its external to keep my return hose connections from slipping.

I like it! I have a soft spot for corner tanks, my first large tank as an adult was a corner tank.

It looks nice in that spot and seem to take up less space even though more gallons. I will probably have to part with GYRE as it might to flow for a short distance.

Regarding gyre...try it in a vertical position at the back corner

That's tough being a triangle. Overflow is in the middle of that and rocks in front. I do have an MP20 and few Hydors, not controllable though.

Opinions?

Wife wants black sand and read some decent reviews on this

Good / bad? Grain size varies so concerned about some blowing on the SPS and other coral.

I love the look of black sand, but keep in mind, black sand may absorb more light, making the tank feel darker overall, depends on if that's what you're looking for. But the thing that deters me the most is people saying the black sand sticks to magnet glass cleaners and starts to scratch everything up..

Did not know that. Hard to clean the curve with regular sand. May have to tell the wife no good.

BLACK SAND?

BLACK SAND?

Yes, was reference to black sand being magnetic.
