    Sweet! Alright J!

    Got enough room for your ballasts there? Or are you moving them this time?

    I have 12 inches ( :eek:) to the kichen door I think I'll get a little cupboard or build somthing to house all the electronics.
    My sump was custom built for the Bow front it was built narrow but tall. So there is no way I can do any mods to the Sump I can just get my hang on skimmer in and out but I have to take it apart. The bonus is half my cabnet is empty.

    Bought 80 more pounds of sand I don't really know how much is in there now around 200 pounds. I don't know if people like to see photo timeline but I thought I'd do it anyway. Let me know if you've had enough

    Looks like you have the AGA float going instead of a durso, how's it sound?

    Water level isn't high enough to get the sump working yet. Thought I'd let the sand settle first then add the LR that sohould displace enough water to get it going.
    The Durso I built is too large for the AGA corner over flow. I made it 1 inch so I may have to build another smaller if this is too noisy. It's kinda cool the dual over flow system it takes water from the top and bottom

    Got it.
    I dig the dual overflow too. That's cool and useful. Unless you have a really DSB.

    [glow=Black, 2, 80%]From what I've read, the dual overflows are supposed to be pretty quiet. I don't know that for sure, 'cause I've never seen one in person.

    It looks GREAT, J!!! You keep showing us pics!!! I am excited to see it with critters in it -- I know how long you've waited and how paitent you've been. [smiley=freak3.gif]

    GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!! [smiley=thumbs_up1.gif][/glow]
