Thank you. I'm trying to mimic Calvin415's ADA build. He's actually building me an overflow similar to his. Credit should all go to him lol...

Thank you. I guess the keyword is WHEN...The rocks are still cycling in a bucket right now since I have no other parts at the moment :violin:....

Sushi sounds really good right now. By the way, I really love the look of the tank but what happens if the return pump fails? Is the sump big enough to hold all that water? I can't argue with the look though. It is a sweet setup.

I can always eat sushi... surprised I don't have mercury poisoning yet...

I took some precautious measures to minimize the damage it can cause if every there is a power outage and I am not home to close the ball valve. I added a check valve (i know the chance of it failing is very high). Hence, the return pipe is about 7" so the amount of water that will drain into the sump should be just enough to where it won't overflow. The credit for the build all has to go to Calvin415 from NR.com

I love Tsukasa!! The Golden Shrimp is going to give you a heart attack, but I can't stop myself from having some when I go there :a12:

And the tank looks great, nice job !!

lol still waiting for the water to clear up...i've been cycling the rocks in a separate container, so when everything stabilizes (clarity, temperature, salinity, etc)...i'll transfer everything over.
