What do you want to know? It's 2" PVC to the inlet of the reeflo, then 1.5" out of the reeflo to the OM4 way. Out of the OM4 way, it's all 1" PVC. The valves are the new cepex true union ball valves. Easy to turn! The drains are twin 1.5" PVC. One will be full siphon and the other will be durso style.

Sun doesn't make it far up the stand and I'm not worried about algae growth as there won't be any. My current tank gets an hour of sun....no issues.
Thank you!

You better get a check valve in there or when the powers goes out all your display water will run out!

Sock chamber is for two 7" filtersocks. 4" filtersocks clog within a couple days. The middle chamber is the fuge and will get full flow. The third chamber will be fed with a mag 5 and drained back into the fuge, I've yet to install those two bulkheads.
My skimmer will be and external SRO 5000 skimmer and will not need to be in the sump.
Quinn123, that round thing is an Oceans Motions 4 way. It had a rotating drum inside that changes which return pipes get flow. It changes once every 30 seconds.
Nyl04, on the first page I discuss my equipment list.

Following along as this the exact size I am looking to upgrade to. Beautiful tank..
I am with Pam on the tank cost. I am trying to figure out the exact cost of tank, stand and canopy. I look forward to your skinning of your stand, as I haven't seen it done on a metal stand on a home aquarium. Fantastic option and a possible way for me to get it up and running possibly at a lower cost, and then work on the skin myself..

Any idea on a stock list? Any certain fish or sps that you just have to have?

Oh yes. 7+ lyratale anthias, blue line angel, flame angel, mystery wrasse, and achilies tang. Subject to change.
. Thanks. The stand is no cheap option. They cost $600+ for this size tank.
What color coral are you referring to?
For my size tank, price is $1000 and up depending on how crazy with drilling. Best thing to do is contact a planet aquariums retailer for a quote.

Thanks!
