Well, we started around 4:30 yesterday afternoon and after a few minor leaks and a little wet tile, we wrapped up at midnight. The tank is plumbed and we have fresh water running right now makeing sure that this incredible flow system that we have designed will work flawless. I guess I shouldn't say we, I mean Eric and Dan from Marine Aquatics. We have a few more hours to go, but IT IS LOOKING GREAT.

Brad,
Those sequence darts are pretty wonderful. Looks cool.
Please tell us what the dimensions of your new 225 are. I'm just curious. It looks like 72" long.

Hey Brad-
I just plumbed two sequence darts (thanks Desert Reef) as closed loops as well. However I only have a 150 gal tank. Think this will be too much?

Eric, I know you read these posts. I think you should sell Brad live Rock at $2.00 a pound considering the free advertising he is given you!  Great job on the tank and plumbing! Brad, Utah Power and Light thanks you very much.....

Adam, I think you will love it with 2 closed loops. Your fish sure will get tired though . Have you turned them on yet and heard how quiet they are? They only use 165 watts also.
Corwando.. My tank dimensions are 72"long by 24" high by 30" deep. Anyone that wants to stop by and see it in person are welcome to.
Oh.. and like Eric says, If they sold stock....I would be a majority stockholder j/k... They are being great with me. They have came up with some awsome ideas, especially the w/c. It will be a one of a kind....

Thursday night we pretty much finished up all the plumbing and plced the tank in its final resting spot. We filled it again with fresh water to make sure everything is still Dry.
Today , Dan called and told me my Neptune III had arrived so all that is left is to hook that up, install the R.O. unit and auto top off, and it will be time for rock and sand.
Here are some pics from today..

Hey Brad, for a final touch on the appearance, take some black zip ties and dress up your power cables coming from the lights. Lace the cables and put 1 about every inch and it will look awesome. Not that it doesn't look that way already. I can't wait till it is stocked!

All systems go! Tomorrow the rock goes in and I fire this thing up. I'm filling it up with R/O water right now and tomorrow it will be ready, All that is left is to hook up the AC III. I ran the cat 5 cable to the PC and set up the DC 8 .
