Mazilla's reef...#2

[mazilla]

:nopics:All done, here is the build from start(about 1 month ago) to today. I upgraded during my move, from a 55g to a 180g



tank drilled by LarryM, if you need one drilled he's your man.



I went with a smooth edge oveflow, i used eggcrate inside the overflow at the surface to prevent critter from getting in.







I went with dual 1.5" drains so there is no chance of a clog


I made a cage out of eggcrate to protect the bulkhead from blockage and so i can double the refugium as a seahorse tank or recouperation tank if need be. the fuge then drains into a 20l which holds the return/skimmer/chiller pumps.

Oh man, I gotta click on each picture?!

Dude, photobucket!
Those links take foreeeeevvvor!

[mazilla]

i guess so, is there another way i can just post them all without going thru the hassle of uploading to PB?

and yes, the entire project was built inside my old living room. who really needs a garage, or a dining room to eat in.

Fine, email them to me and I will upload to PB then post here for you.
PB actually has a bulk upload feature now, you can upload an entire folder w/ one or two clicks.

uploading to Photobucket is really fast now cuz it has the new "upload all at once" feature.
just hold down control to select multiple photos from your comp, or drag your mouse across to make the highlighting square to select them all at once.
in addition, i always downsize my pictures beforehand to make it load even faster on it and on websites i use them for.

I see my famous mama's filter socks in use!!! LOL. so awesome
thanks maz
