    Wow, love the tank. Things around it appear to be very organized too. Something I like, but need to work on :D

    Can you tell me about how you did the drain line for WC's?

    Hello & welcome to 3reef!:D...Just realized you've been on here for 2 months. lol

    Your tank looks good. I like the WC idea. did you come off the drain or return? Nice looking torch also.
