    Well, it's finally settled. After lots of planning, some bleeding and more mopping than I expected, I got my 20H moved to the new (though used) cabinet and the 10 gallon sump is running. I'm real pleased to have all of the equipment out of the display...now I just have to wait for the coraline to grow on the 2 pvc returns. I hope you can see the few corals I have as well as 2 of my fish -- the 6-line wrasse, wasn't into holding still for a photo op.

    In the sump, I've got:
    - live rock rubble bubble diffusing tower
    - Remora skimmer w/ surface skimmer
    - ghetto fuge with Wally-World kitty litter as substrate, chaeto and more LR rubble
    - DIY autotop off
    - MAG 7 return
    - big ole back of carbon

    It ain't much, but I'm quite happy with it...at least until I win the lotto and buy a house so I can pay Otty and Tangster to come build a monster in the wall for me...

    Looks great!!!

    With as much coralline on the rocks as you have, those returns will be covered in no time.

    Hopefully, it was water and not blood that you had to mop up! :eek:

    Tank looks awesome Pisces. You do great work!!

    Haha...
    The bleeding was from me trying to hack a fitting in my jeep in the HD parking lot. The mopping came after I turned the return pump on...it worked fine during my freshwater tests, but it needed to be dialed down a bit on the reef -- which I found out a bit later than I would have liked.

    Thanks for all the support!
