I must say Aaron. Your passion for this is great to see. I'm sure this will be a very beautiful reef soon. You have made all the right moves by going around and seeing other aquariums and taken all the steps to build Your tank with all the equipment that you believe to be the best for your tank. You have spent many hours researching, and talking to many experts in the trade, so that you could put together a special system that you can enjoy for many years to come. Your patience is commendable , the trouble you have gone through the last 8 months would surely discourage many others, but you stuck with it and it is finally going to come true. Bravo my man, Bravo.

$150 for these flipping Loc-line parts. Why didn't I invent this?
Got a small shipment from Bulk Reef Supply today. 1/4 inch tubing for my Vertex Libra dosser. A couple of float valves for the R/O line that will drip into the sump.

I'm really excited to try these DC pumps out. This pump has a variable speed controller so that I can adjust the flow into the skimmer.

The box for this skimmer was so flipping big, it took up my entire front seat on the way home.
This thing is huge compared to my skimmer for the 120. And YES, we had Dairy Queen for dinner. Sorry about the messy pic. haha

I'm in Centerville, so if anyone is ever in the area, just message me. You're always welcome to come check it out. I want to have water in it next weekend and hopefully I'm cycled by Thanksgiving.

Congrats! I love (large) tank builds. Watching these things go together is as beautiful as a full blown reef. Many people like to forgo the "cycle" but I for one love the process. I long to build another large system but my wife pleasantly let me know there will not be another tank build without another house build. Looks like it will be awhile. Keep us updated with lots of pictures.

1/4 inch line ran directly from my 6 stage RODI unit downstairs. This will go into the sump with a float valve.
I've got more Ecotech on the way...
I got this from Ryan at Aquatic Dreams. This thing is huge. Will be running the BRS bio-pellets.
For my refugium and night time mode...
Tyler just sent me a pic of my sump. Should be finished with all the extras later this week.
