Everything is doing great, the parms are kicking butt. Will update the picture later today....this all took place in about a two week period.

Great job Mebigloser !! Love the setup, who's making the 56 cube ?

Cheeks, I think thats a 56 gallon Oceanic.....
MBL,
Just a suggestion, might think about wrapping the flexible tubing connecting the scwd to the PVC returns w/ either black electrical tape or duct tape. This prevents light from hitting the insdies of the plumbing and allowing algae to grow and choke off the flow through there.
Looks good,
Nick

It is an 56 gallon Perfecto.....
