    Nice! That's pretty impressive, I wish I had time to do stuff like that. :) I'm struggling to get my refug built :) +1 for the effort and finished product!

    Welcome to 3reef. Nice looking aquarium. You have it set up really nice, especially if you ever want to switch over to saltwater.

    Love the Yorkie to. I have had 4 of them in my life time.

    You did a great job! I like the filter too, but should some of the cylinders be above the water line?

    I think what he is referring to is: There aren't any above the waterline with the ability to create/host aerobic bacteria. As it is now you will be producing larger amounts of anaerobic bacteria.
