    Looks awesome. If you incorporate UV, this is pretty efficient. Due to the length of the tube, you get a lot of dwell time in front of the bulb. This is the system I was talking about. Lifegard Aquatics

    so are you going to stock items that some say should not be sold due to mortality rate. ie flower pot, flame scalops and blue linkia stars to name a few. i have heard the price of sw fish, mainly, will be up to 5x the cost in the next few years do to moritoriums and such been put on wild stocks. have you heard of this? i wouldnt want to lose a $25 damsel.

    looks awesome! Good luck! I cant wait to see your progress!

    Are you leaving the carpet down? I would think that might be a problem? I work at a LFS part time and there is always water getting spilled on the floor. If it is not someone splashing water, it is a sump leaking, a large shipment coming in, or some stupid thing like that.

    Again, good luck!

    Carpet is staying in except under and behind all the permanent tanks. There will also be drains behind or under all the permanent tanks. The water changes will all be done by turning valves instead of carrying buckets. If spillage becomes an issue than I will remove it and instal tile.
