Tank and stand are in the building.

We will need legion to bring that tank to the bsmt. All able bodied reeefers needed!!!!

I've never used this for moving a tank, but I do have Shoulderdolly lifting straps if you'd like to borrow them.

Aquascape complete. Now plumbing

Looking great. You're eventually going to put fish and coral in there and then it all goes to hell. But you know that.

Updated pic. Uv is plumber vertical and direct run from pump into uv and then into manifold They hit an elbow into a wye. Which then goes to the two returns.
Ended up using all flex this time around

Which filer roller did you go with? I am thinking about getting one and ditching the filter socks once and for all.

 

[ecam]

it’s the Clari-sea sk500 ( the bigger one ).

Few quirks. But we’ll worth it

I would love to go with one but doubt it will fit in my sump.

 

[ecam]

@MadReefer they have a smaller one as well the 3000 version

 

[ecam]

I would make room.
