LOL my old lady just left for NEW YORK last night! Darn it! I totally would have came to help out....although she might have been a bit upset cuz her great grandma passed away!

Sorry to hear about the passing of her Great Grandmother, But you will always like anyone here who is friend at my house. I have plenty of room here, Just pack and come on, we can have a fun setting up some tanks. I do also have a 55 gal that Is new that is not set up. Just need to get a stand built for it, I have the CPR overflow that i was going to use on the 75G because I couldnt get it drilled. Its drilled now so all i would need to do is build the sump and stand then get a set of lights.. LOL ha ha

Well looking ahead because my plumbing will be here this afternoon, I went and placed the Power Heads in the tank to make sure placement of them looks ok. I have 4 Koralia 750's. There will be 2 returns on the tank, one on each side of the back, They will be run from the sump with a Y. They are made out of lock line so I can move them around to suit what I need. The Power Heads will be Placed with 2 on the back panel, one on each side, below where the Return lines are and pointing down. The other to will be one on each side panel, with them pointing up. I am in the hopes that the currents from them along with the Returns will clash together and make great movement and flow throughout the tank. DO you think this Placement will be ok?
Thanks for any suggestions you may have, and here are some pics of where the Power Heads are and I will get pictures later of the Plumbing and the Returns.

Well Little Grasshoppers the wait is about over now, hooking up all the plumbing tonight as we speak, so guess what is the next step? Yes, in the next few days there will be sand, Dry rock and Water in the tank.. WHOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO I will take pics and post them here in a little bit of all the plumbing.
Yes, BTLD I would have to say that you have the most time invested in this tank with me, and then Meowzer is second. I am glad that everyone here on the boards have been along for this ride. Thank you to all!!!
Scott =)

Awesomeness!!!

Yeah this isn't just Scotts tank anymore, it's the peoples tank now.

Corey you are right this Tank is for everyone on here, Because all of you have had a hand in making this thing happen. Its been a long time, but it has paid off because its going to be done right. I feel that if it has taken this long for me to get it up and running then that is the way it is. There is a reason why it has taken this long. Maybe I have or others have had to learn something from it and I hope they have. Maybe it will show other new Hobbyist that waiting, taking your time, going slow, and doing your research is the best way to do things. Just remember it was you and Shawn that convinced me to go with the Sump, and you and Al that convinced me to drill the tank and go with the internal overflow. I Thank all that have given me advice and suggestions with the tank. Now the next step is to aquascape the tank, which is going to be very exciting.

Lol Thanks for taking the time to read through all the post on the thread. Stay along for the Ride because only good things will be coming and lots of pics too. I think it is going to be a great set up and not only because it is mine, but because of all the help that I have gotten from members on the boards. If it is one hell of a set up, I can not take all the credit for it I have to give the credit to all who have help make it happen!! =)
