Hey GMAN it's looking good. How noisy is that pump on your closed loop system? I would like to do that but would hate a lot of noise since I'll be setting up in my living room.
265 Gallon FOWLR build out.

Greg- thanks. it is not hooked up in a closed loop fashion... I will add pics tonight to show. it is running off of the sump... IMO it would be to noisy for a living room unless you can seal the stand and put in some kind of noise suppressing foam to help with the noise... The pumps have built in fans for cooling. Since mine is going to be behind the wall that noise is not enough to notice. AC- I hope it does once I am done...
Thanks. I guess I'll keep looking for something quiet then. That set up looks great! Wish I had the room.
Ok sorry for the delay in an update... As you will see the tank looks a little different then a few weeks ago. Everyone seems a lot happier in the big tank compared to the little 40's they were in... They are also getting more attention from me as they are not on the floor hidden away from me... The Lion is a little on the thin side so I am trying to carefully bring his weight up and not over feed him or his tankmates at the same time. I have been feeding Silversides, shrimp and spectrum thera+A pellets and everyone is taking those great. I plan on getting some clams and some other shellfish in the next week or two. There are a couple of local seafood places around here and might look to see if I can get any scraps or leftovers from them either free or cheap.. I will let you know how that goes... well here are the pics so enjoy and let me know what you think and what i might want to think about for scaping.. Oh again the fish I have are a Lion, Blue Spot Grouper, Wasp Fish, and a [FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Dampiera Pseudochromis(or grouper depending on who you talk to)...

It may be too late for you now for a new background but check this out:

Chuck, I'll agree with that. But it still looks better than a painted back glass. I might try it on my 90 just to get away from the backing paper that was there when I bought it.
