    Very clean! Nice setup well done. What are you using for lights? Is this reef or fowlr?

    This is a Fowlr tank build. I just purchased the 2-36" Current Orbit Marine LEDs. I'm impressed with the LEDs very happy.

    Looks great Adam. Rock really looks good. That rock really filled it up nice.Lots of room for fish to swim through.

    Very happy with everything. Except for a very very small leak on one of my overflow bulkhead fittings. Not the bulkhead but the screw in adapter from bulkhead to PVC. Ugh everything is glued. Guess I'll have to find some putty to around the threads.
    I even Teflon taped the threads.

    Alittle aquarium silicone works too. I had a small leak on a bulkhead when i plumbed mine and used some leftover silicone. Youll want to turn the pumps off tho and keepit dry for a day to be safe.
