    How big is your actual tank? All this pipe work and reactors etc it must be huge!!!!

    Im very interested to see your display tank :).

    I am working on the plumbing for my sump at the moment and will be taking some pointers off your work if you dont mind.

    Thanks for the pictures.

    Love the color code, it looked messy, until I noticed the reactors, skimmer, etc had their own color.

    Thank you for the feed back everyone! Yes everything is color coded so once system is running just by looking....you can see the water path/flow/process of each item. This is a big built 16' long with a 8' tank and 8' of equipment with another 4' area for QT.
    I still will be finishing DIY's for the next couple of months but will start DT, Sump, and a few other parts very soon.....and after a year build i can't wait:)

    Thanks Again!!!

    Krylon Fusion

    Hi leichr0220, say that fast:)
    I can only speak with using Krylon Fusion paint and not having any problems. For me it's a process see earlier input on how i do it, i would not use it where it will get roughed up or scratched on. On the can it say's chip proof after 7 days but there is a difference between scratch and chip:)

    Best to you!
