I couldn't agree more with the other posters, awesome job!

I too would love to see more pictures!

I do have a question though. I get how your "out" lines work for your sump system, and I love the under gravel inlet feature you have. My question is though, how do you prevent a back feed/siphon from your under gravel setup? Is it a similar way to how the "out" side works?

Hope I asked that in a way you can understand.

Updated pic. I'll post a whole tank pic as soon as I find the camera, this pic was from my cell phone. Guess the Fish! I'm back to natives love this guy went from 3" to over 12" since I got him/her in May of this year.


Macomber:
The out pipes had a siphon break in them that was above the waterline so the tank would overflow before the lines would. I dont have a sump anymore I have 2x FX5's now. Low fish load so the two are more than enough.

Thanks, Here is the whole tank shot atm. I haven't been able to do much at all with work school and family life. I'll be trimming the Algae back a bit in some spots. My Bowfin loves to creep through it. Hopefully the Christmas bonus is nice this year so I can add some driftwood again.

Coming out to investigate me and the camera.

Great looking tank. I believe I found my template for my build.

That is 600g of awesomesauce.:)

I'm a reefer though...do you know anything about any bad effects with the sweetwater and the corosiveness of saltwater? I've tried to find some threads on it, but can't.

Again, great looking tank.
