thanks fellas....
almost forgot, I need to get to the store and buy some window tint for the back and part of the left side (to cover the exposed overflow area) and apply today...
speaking of the overflow, I'd like to know other's opinion regarding the DB durso standpipe strainer....not sure if I should or shouldn't install it.....the overflow box has teeth on it but a snail can certainly go over it and get lodged in the drain pipes...but the strainer will definitely restrict flow and can certainly become clogged....thinking to forget it....thoughts?
[MENTION=1277]jrpark22000[/MENTION] this will be a full tank transfer so no time for cycling....this will be an instant reef....
Even better, gotta love insta-reef!
I can't see your photos at work as they block the source, but can you put a top on your skimmer box to prevent the snail from making it over the teeth? If not, I'd run the strainer. Less flow, but mr bud luck will show up sometime with a snail in your pipes.
