Everything on board, apart from the Tunze Skimmer which will be arriving later this week.

Why did my picture post upside down? Hmmm.

my pictures post upside down sometimes. for some reason if you just upload them into iphoto and then put them back onto your desktop it fixes the problem...so weird

Very much so. The missus is about ready to strangle me I reckon.

Ok, so she's here now. Sump connected up and ready to go.

I've got it out from the wall, and dry. At the moment the illumagic perspex stands are in use, but I'm sure the missus will demand I set up the cade hanging mounts in their place(she's not a fan of the perspex legs).

The Bunarong Boys doing the heavy lifitng.

How she currently sits.

looks so schmick mate. Really love the tanks. The sump design on the model when I was looking at them was horrible, only reason I didn't get one. Believe they have changed it into a much better version now.

Will let you off the 2 hours for pics.... :P

She is puurty!

I'm literally clueless in regards to what would or wouldn't make a good sump, but I think it has everything I will require.
I'm yet to decide on a filter medium to add to it. I'll dump a bit of live rock in there, I'm guessing, but I'll need something extra.

Will fill with water tomorrow and check for leaks. Bunarong will be monitoring my water for me for me for the next 4 weeks, so I'll make sure it's all good before adding any salt.

the last one had about 900 sections to it, could barely even work it out!

I have a big old lump of marine pure in mine

You make it sound like it will be a new concept.

That stand :worship

And I agree with the missus ... not a fan of the legs myself, hanging will look so much cleaner!

 

[MTG]

Looking good!! I do like those stands in white!

 

[Cosby]

Have been playing about with the lights and the mounts this morning. Put a black back on it. Attached the Vortech. Running out of time to get some water into it. Might have to leave it until tomorrow.

Just admiring it before heading off to work.

Love it! Though I would run the mp10 cord down rather than up and over the light stand.

It's purely as a prevention of the powerhead slipping off and smashing on the concrete at some point. I was advised by Brett to run the cord straight up, and I do as I'm told. ;)

Did you get the little sticky things that you can cable tie the cord with? I run mine up for a few cm's cable tie it and then run it down. Just personal preference though.

Those illumagic LED's sure do look good!

yep, I got those. I don't like the look of them though, so I'm going to try and support it from the LED stand instead. The less cords and zip ties seen, the better in my view.
