It's absolutely beautiful.I wish I had friends/significant other that were into saltwater tanks.
I hear ya there, my kids like mine but my wife other than it being a cool center piece of the living room could really care less. Then again anything that is my hobby is automatically hated by her. =) My friends also have very little to no interest other than when they come over you get the. Thats cool.
I CHANGED IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!
This has been crazy. I think I have thrown out about $50 in plexy glass so far. This it I'm done changing it. This is what it looks like now guys I hope you like it, I do.

That looks good...your filter set up makes me want to delete all the pictures of my filter on my thread. Nice job!
I am trying to gather up all the bits and pieces to build a sump from a 30g (largest tank I can twist into the bottom of my stand). Like you, mine will replace my wet/dry....although my wet dry has been running for six months with no problems at all. But I want to kick it to the curb before any nitrate issues pop up. If I had had the foresight to see that I would want to build a sump, I could've put a 55g or 75g sump under my tank before I moved the heavy SOB into place. But, hindsight is 20/20, I suppose....

We are getting our Mag Drive 9 SUMP pump tomorrow and will be doing a fresh water test of the setup tomorrow night. I was wondering if I should put anything in the water to help clean everything out. I bought the tank from our LFS owner slightly used. I was only setup for a few weeks while he was remodeling his store. I would like to make sure that there is nothing in the tanks and plumbing. Do you have any ideas on this subject.
I was think of doing that but wasn't sure. How much do you think I should put in the water. I figure there will be about 102gal in the whole setup.
Just out of curiosity, where is your return pump sucking the water from? The center chamber with the PVC going down or the last chamber?
I think its really looking great. I agree with the vinegar thing. Just run a rince cycle or two through it and allow to air dry and you should be fine.
