My 40 Gallon Frag Tank Build

They both appear to be similar but each tank has a different objective. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif

 

Here are the plumbing parts ready to go.

Here is how I designed the overflow.  A single 3/4" return and a 1" drain with a Maggie Muffler on it.  The 1" drain on the left is taller than the main drain and it is used as an emergency drain in case the other one gets clogged. 

Here is a picture of the plumbing in place.

 

The weather stinks today so that forces me to stay indoors and work on tank stuff. I finally decided where I wanted to mount my power center and got it done today. I still have things like the Litermeter and kalk stirrer to hook up but I am mostly done with the tank.
Here's a shot of the it

 

It's a multi-purpose sticker!  Not only does it look cool, it also marks the optimum water level so my return pump doesn't go dry. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/biggrin.gif
I get the American DJ powerstrips from Amazon.com LINK

Top secret build???  What's that about?
Skimmer is breaking in nicely.  I have the swabbie for it but haven't put it on yet since I don't have much of a bioload.
Yeah, I have a pair of clowns from Jason and Betty.  I plan on adding a tang and maybe some gobies but nothing that would create a heavy bioload.  I'll add fish accordingly, depending on the colors of the corals. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif
