many thanks guys, regarding the plumbing laddy i will post some pics 4 u it runs a closed loop with 3 outlets driven by a dart sequence pump 13000ltrs p/h (external filter) and in the sump a laguna pump 10000lts that splits into the skimmer and the balance returns to the main tank, it also has a p/head for surface movement , attached to the sump theres an r/o sump that holds 150lts with auto feed . the right hand side of the main tank has been drilled a few inches from the top 40mm(hole) this is connected to the outside of the house to drain water (200lts) for water changes, it also has a 1100ltrs tank outside for the
new water to pump back in , it makes water changes very easy 9minutes flat.

Don't you miss that stuff. LOL
Nice setup. I would be interested in the "back end" stuff.
If I didn't mention, nice foxface.
