are you making a refuge in the sump?

other than that i just glanced but the stand looks amazing

 

[Coletrickle]

Yes, that is the middle section of the sump. Thanks!! I have a lot of time in the stand and hood. Have more to do to the hood, 4 X 54W T5's. Just got my ballast in today!

Do you have lights for the refuge? If not you will need them.

And im a newb on lights so I cant help ya there.

 

[Coletrickle]

It's not in there yet, Will a grow light from walmart work?

Stand looks great. Everything looks good.

Any light in the fuge will work. You can even go with one of those round silver shop lights. Just put the lights on a reverse cycle from your DT lights.

BTW, everything looks good. Good drilling for the overflows.
Please give us the details of the PVC you have up top.
I can see one is the overflow output and the other side is the return.
What is the long PVC across the front of the tank? For multiple outlets?

Good going so far! Get some sand & rock in there!!!

The stand looks really nice. Great work. :Cheers:

You don't need special lights for the refugium. I use a $10 regular old fluorescent strip light over mine.

The only thing I can see,is dont look like you'll have enough room under that shelf to get a light over your fuge.
Other than that,it looks great.

looks great i like how you have the spray bar. can you see it or is it covered by the trim?

 

[Coletrickle]

The long PVC pipe is the spray bar with 6 holes drilled in it. The first pic. shows everything is hiden except the overflow box. The bulkhead sits lower than the trim so the box also had to.

I think there will be plenty of room for a fluorescent light strip.

Thanks everyone.
