No likes a F'n show off Chris!




















J/K. Love the stand and canopy combo. You won big on that deal.

Personally, I would have drilled the tank to make the filtration system look cleaner. Get like 2x2260 with drill input and output lines. Other than that the set-up looks pimp!

Sweet looking setup, can't wait to see it filled with trophs. On a side note it must be handy having a little girl who can crawl inside for maintanence. Maybe I can borrow my buddie's daughter next time the 90 gallon needs a cleaning.

Clean looking setup!!! Loving the rocks, are they sharp? I get cut all the time by my petrified wood when I do cleaning or rearranging.

That filtration system he has on there will handle any amount of canister you can put in there. Much easier maintenace also.

[newb]

how much output are you getting out of that wet/dry? Im thinking of going and getting an overflow box and setting one up on my 210.

Looks great and like the DIY wet/dry

[gotticgs]

thanks for all the comments

1. rocks are about as sharp as any other

2.the coralife pump does not have hardley any info on it except
The Coralife Turbo-Sea 790P Aquarium Pump has a flow rate of 793 gph.

• Max head: 20.7 feet

I think that means at 20.7 feet it puts out 793gal, notice I said think

but it is a high pressure pump and moves a ton of water

3. I have a drilled tank already and I really did not want to do it to this one, besides this wet dry is a hell of alot cheaper than 2x2260s



oh and my little girl charges the hell out of me!
but a bag of hot chips and a soda always does the trick


THanks
Chris
