Thank you for the pics> 1 question. what is the PVC neck in the tank for?

can any one post detailed pics of there chiller instalation with external pump. i have all my equipment just want to set it up right the first time. i would appreciate pics of the accessory att. and the full plumbing.

i removed all my media and replaced with live rock rubble. i have amazing life growing in the back chambers tons of feather dusters pods, sponges. i run fine filter and carbon once in a while wich i leave for a couple of days and then remove.

I've noticed that my flow has slowed down and that water volume is high in main tank when i top off at water mark in rear chambers. Does this mean i have to get down and durty and start major clean up. Tank has been running since May 21st 2009??

Thx everyone for your comments> Tank has been up since May 20th.
