Thanks John and Thien. I can not wait to tranfer all my live stock from my 170G rimless. But I don't have much time. I have to work on the plumbing.

Oh man, based on how awesome your other tanks look, I know this one is going to be amazing! Can't wait to see more! 8)

That's what I'm talkin' about, Dennis! You need any more help, or what? Let me know... I'm off this week.

Oh, and that sump looks great, dude! That skimmer should handle things very nicely! We should have taken a group picture too, so these guys can see how big my "little" brother is. haha!

That is totally awesome....
Wow nice tank Dennis, that look great once you get it populated.
The 130 I got from you is still looking great, my wife had to take care of it for me while I was in the hospital for 3 mos, and she did an exceptional job for me...

Thanks Rick.
Leo. That 's sump is awsome 80G. 60x18x17. But I can not put it in the stand. Unless I have to rmove the top or cut a bit on the back. I think I will try to cut the back support tonight. I have tried all angle but have no luck

That should be easy Dennis, even if you have to cut them a little, or pry them out of the way. They serve no purpose other than support the front and back frames of the stand. The actual weight of the tank is on the sides of the stand, so just as long as you put them back, you'll be good. You could easily do that with some small pieces of metal and some screws, or just be careful prying it loose. Another option would be cutting the side of the stand out, and putting a door in there, but that might be too "ghetto" for your awesome taste.

It's looking good! I was wondering if you fell asleep over there or if you were actually working.

You are right. I am sleeping here. I will keep u update.

 

[GAW]

Sweeeeeet! Get the thing stocked!!

Sump was in last night. I cut off the back pierce support. So i can but the big sump in. I will try to finish the plumbig tonight.

 

[flipside]

Nice! Great idea, bro! I forgot there's some openings back there. Probably easier to do it that way, too.

I can't wait to see it with your livestock in there! Hurry up!

I do not have much time on the weekend. Here is what I have done so far for the last couple day. I still need more RO water to make the whole set up running. Since my sum is 80 gallons. I have the water full for the tank. Drain plumbing is done but return line is just for now. Here is some of the pictures update. Please feel free give me some feed back on the Rock work, Thanks
