Thanx Kid! It's going in the house, I don't think it will fit in a Kenworth

Oh yea. That looks sharp.
As forest gump would say; I like it a lot.
What light fixture do you have to replace that one?

If you have any local reefers near you or LFS's that you could go to and look at their systems in person I would start there, and of course this forum
I learned quite a bit from my bro-in-law Justin that has been in the SW game for 4 or 5 years. We are both learning as we go with my tank as far as the sump/refuge part goes. You Tube is a great place to watch step by step instructions of just about anything from building a tank to fragging corals. If you google Durso Standpipes you'll get all the info you need on the style I built for my tank. Google "Bean Animal" also, it is the design Posiden used. Hope I helped. If you have any questions at all don't hestitate to ask here. An unasked question is the ONLY stupid question

mi thinx teh slepilg is wnorg.
Lets just say then only water movement I have going right now is my powerheads and noise under sand pump.
Plus crap everywhere...
Nevermind though. Looks good. Do you think the flex piping is better then the hard pvc or easier to work with...? Great job so far...Keep it up.
