new setup

[tinman]

Ok this is my new setup, everything I built except the tanks and pump. Works great been up for 10 hours and the water lines have stayed the same, it also never, I repeat never lost its syphon while I drained the tank with a bucket to move it in the garage. I drained the top tank completely and picked it and the owerflow plumbing all in one unit. took it in the garage filled it back up and the syphon took right back off with out me priming it....YEAH it works...here are some pics

the stand turned out really good keep in mind I havent put the background on the tank yet, most of the plumbing will be hidden.

the tank 20 long

the plumbing

the sump/fuge ignore the crazy silicone job I will clean it up, and I know my baffles are too high will fix later.

whatcha think

its actually full of water and running in those pics, I did go get a pump and change the overflow pipie to 3/4 all the way to the sump to accomidate the extra flow. It is working great. I will hit a slow leak in acoupling in the morning and tear it down to move to its home. DSB and salt water should be in it tommorrow night. I will take pics then..thanks I am very proud of it. 120 is all the money I have in it, everything you see in the pic and my salt and playsand.
