much as I hate reefing just can't seem to stop building tanks, tank dejour? 53 gal shorty, 34''x30''x12''
Need to invent new names for some of the things going on, display is in the front and equipment behind,almost a AIO, the chamber has 2 flow heads with its own pump, water is drawn through the inlet on the right side out the pump through the flow heads on left, the chamber will house live rock in blackout condition, the overflow is dedicated to the skimmer there is a pocket built into the back of the tank that houses the skimmer feed pump, skimmed water returned to rear area.
Im going with glass bead for substrate, size is similar or smaller than oolitic, bare minimum rock in display, my old rock is getting bleach,acid washed and recycled.
Lighting will be 6 t5ho's waiting for some powdercoating to be finished next week.
Skimmer designed and to be built shortly.
Today was fun but oh so stinky! couple of pics for now and lets see what kind of mess this turns into lol

Cool!

However, we're going to have to impose a few rules just for you.

1. No foam.
2. Gloves. Do you have fireproof ones?
3. There will be a timeframe.
4. You must include discussion of T's latest trips in the thread.

Rules are subject to change depending on the injuries sustained.
