Everyone wants that cat and my wife hates that cat. That's exactly why I cant part with it, we ALL know women mean exactly the opposite of what they say.

I never figured out this morning if those were dry boxes or live boxes in your tank. Did you cycle them?

When we layed the tank on the side that created weight to the point the overflo
might lay over so I put the boxes there for support

First of 3 up and cycling. 100% ready to run although it will be a while before I cycle thru the main sump.

 

[reeftopia]

Being very ambitious hope to get second tank up and cycling tomorrow.

Looking good David.

So are you running one large sump or separate sumps?

 

[reeftopia]

The cube will be running on a separate sump. Would have been running yesterday until I found a 3/8 hole
drilled in the sump. Guessing it was for top off. just returned from the hardware hoping to just plug it
incase I want to install topoff.

 

[reeftopia]

[reeftopia]

made progress today

 

[steveb]

those look good David. Are you going to plumb them all together or run separate sumps?

 

[reeftopia]

7 tanks will be hooked to my 200 gal sump. First cube has its own sump. Hope to sell second cube before I finish everything.
Or else I will be tempted to put in in there also. So far I have the 10 by 4,,, 5 by 4,,,,5 by24 and 3, 5 by 30,,,, will be adding
yet another 3 by 2,,,,, temped to add the other 4 by4 cube and I have 6, 2 by 2 cubes I may possibly add. Even my wife is liking
it and she never has before.
