Yeah i got lucky had all my equipment in straight away :) haha im expecting a long cycle though with the base rock i might seed the fuge area with some live rock next week :) youve got the 1000? Yeah plumbing looked horrible and non standard sizing so rather than replacing the lot tried the elbow and its worked great n 2$ lol

Haha very lucky, awesome setup mate :) Haha dw, you'll get there ;) Sure do :D originally had a 1200 on hold but things fell through with an apartment, new apartments layout wouldn't fit a 1200 :( so went the next best one :P

Yerrr, the non-standard sizing pipe work is awesome fun -_- I didn't think of conduit! That's an awesome idea, I custom fit some 25mm PVC lol
