Got a few things in the mail today...

Went with the door buster deals on the red PVC just to keep the theme rolling, also got some GFO, Rox Carbon and 2 300w Jager Heaters

Your buying gfo I haven't even finished your old one I bought from you after your last tank break down.

I planned on the white fittings anyway, that way I can keep up with the red and white theme.

Just planning ahead is all. It was on sale for a good deal and I realized I may need it in the future so I might as well get it and save the money.

I like the red/white, consistent with vertex and bubble king. need to use the clear primer though

Looks like you'll be seeing water in the very near future. Congrats...

That's what I was going for. Good call on the clear primer. We are getting very close

I do plan on having a colorful DT...here's a few pictures from my previous tank that was 8 months old before having to move home to be with my father:

Can't wait to see it come together. I like the red PVC, I picked some up too to go with my new red and white skimmer. I couldn't resist, yeah it's a sickness. If you ever need a hand with anything just let me know.

awesome sump

Thanks everyone...I learned a lot from the first two builds I had. I decided to go slowly and make sure I cross off everything I wanted on my wish list before moving forward.

The sump was made by Custom King, he has a vendor page on Manhattan Reefs and he's local out of Trumbull.
