The plumbing wasn't so bad if I had room. But thanks to Glenn for some ideas on how to go about it was great.. Hardest part was trying to find the parts.

It's up and running now :D

She loves the tank and my other daughter says its hers also.. Which worked out great!!! The 10gal was made into a sump... No more tanks for me.. Two is a MAX for me

Yea it will until it breaks in. I had to dial it way down so that it would not fill up with water!

Dre tank looks great really nice setup I think the family will like having another perspective(shallow tank) to admire.

Will tested tank levels and they were awesome!!! My PAR38 will be upgraded to 120 optics soon to stop the spotlight you see on above picture. This is an issue for frag tanks as these fixtures need to be hanging 18" high from SB in order to get the full coverage advertised. Mine is at 12” from SB and hope I’m not cooking my corals : ( Hope the new optics can help with these frag tanks being build today.

I know some are going to ask questions about the cycle.. But I'm crazy like that!! Used about a good 20lbs of live rock, 15gal of my 75gal water and 1 cup of sand to seed.. Hope that answer the cycle questions! Also used the filter sock that was being used on my 29gal sump since it was time to change. Will be changed today and a WC..

Here are some quick phone pictures just to tease before I take out the DSLR
