| Fuzzy Sticks   | Awesome dave! Thats some monster of a tank! I like the spray bars and am thinking of somthing like that for my 120 im building. The primer idea was great to. can you get a pic of the stand in the daylight? from a little distance. Im curious what kind of wood it is and find it hard to tell from the pic's you posted already. That tank is huge! Keep up the good work  |

| Rabid Wolverine Reefer | finally,,after a bit of a delay due to FedEx's inability to deliver a package on time, i got the dual 4MD QX-SC's installed as well as the sump.(cant do plumbing without the pumps on hand). i must say the spraybarss came out perfectly when the pumps plugged in. WooHoo!!
