looks good! Lights look good in it! I love that it has bobs plaque still on it! how are the numbers looking on it?

One thing I would do... and this is just me is change those powerheads to pointing towards the surface and not down!

Yea I been debating takin that plaque down If Bob wants it back I would be more than happy to get it to him. Since I didnt earn it. I will most likely take it off

I got 4 accelerators pointing upwards from my return into the tank. should I also point the heads up? and those are only koralia 3's I have been thinkin bout gettin higher power ones what are opinions on that?

My readings are good took water to LFS and my nitrite was .25 my salt was.023 so gettin it up a lil higher. But rest readings are good. I am gonna start gettin a lil CUC for it.

Yea lights were a pain for a minute had some problems but got it figured out lol. I need to get something to cover those ballasts though so my lil kids dont by chance touch them.

If you can manage to remove the plaque that would be nice.
 
I believe it is held on with those little sticky tape square things. I think you could use like an Xacto knife or other long blade to reach behind it and cut it loose.
 
But, if it comes down to you damaging the canopy's finish just to get the plaque off, then don't worry about the plaque.
 
 
And you've got things looking pretty good there, BTW... Smile

If you have some decent surface agitation, it's a good idea to also have some flow pointed down like it shows in the pictures. That will help keep stuff suspended until it is removed through the overflow.
A government strong enough to give you everything you want, is powerful enough to take everything you have.
