Did you say 300k? Does it poop fish gild? Lol. I've heard they can get crazy expensive but geeeeeeez!

Not a problem, I will do it right in this thread as well.

Yes sir, I am making my own. The scrubber will be in the first chamber of the sump. I am not running a fuge on this tank, mainly in part due to space. I will use CVPC to construct it, the hobby mat and a long air stone powered by some sort of air pun (haven't made my mind up on that part yet...

Doing that either wed or Thur. Lights will be here tomorrow

Not much more!

Got the plumbing done today, one step closer to getting it running. I spent some time trying to figure this plumbing thing out as I wanted to add a dual manifold in it. Well, you will see shortly how that turned out. It started out like this. And ended up like this. Here is the...

Got the sump stripped and cleaned today. Rearranged the baffles for my needs and have them all siliconed up now and waiting for them to cure. The next project is the plumbing and up flow algae scrubber

Well heck, I didn't know you were up here too! I just started my 93 cube thread too. I haven't posted up here much as I was getting the "feel" for folks up here. Great looking tank as well Deb!!!

So for now, thats all the photos. I will be removing the baffles and cleaning the sump tomorrow. After they are replaced, I will be starting the plumbing on the tank. There is one thing that I noticed on this tank that I have never seen on any of my other tanks. Both bulk heads are 1"...
