Thanks, the scape took a while but I'm very happy with it.
Give me a couple days, I'll have some life in there for sure.
Totally even coverage and decent par values at the sand bed as well.
NICE use of Tonga Branch! That's not easy to do!
I can't wait to see life in it! You know, besides the scape-master...
Thanks, your right, it's not easy but if you take your time anything is possible with the scape-master!

I used 15 PAR 38's from Prestige LED's. these are the same ones I told you to get. They are fully dimmable. I went overkill on mine, you would only need 5-6 MAX.

I am actually all out of any live sand. I have a case or 2 left of the carribsea sand that is sold as live sand. It's either 40 or 80 lbs.

Thanks Jeff, I'm only using Tonga branch rock in the display. I will running 50 L Kaldnes in the sump in my fluidized bed reactor. I will also be running Pukani rock in the refugium.

Well if you find yourself in Naperville give me a call or just stop by, there is usually someone always home.

I have been working on reducing the hum and the added heat of the reeflo pump. So this is what I came up with.
I'm using 2 1/2" acoustical foam.
3 120mm fans built into a controller. They come on at 78 degrees and turn off at 75 degrees. They are silent. The three combined move about 160 cmf.

If you get any noise from your fans (although you say they are silent) you can get some neoprene washers from the hardware store and place them in between the mounting holes. It will help if needed at a later date. You can also get some dyna mat for under the mounting of your pump too, another option if needed.
Which fans/ set up did you go with?

The fans are super silent, I ended up going with fans from the coolerguys.com on a thermostat. Most of the noise that I am hearing right now is from the reeflo hammerhead pump. Currently I have 3/8" dynamat under the pump. I might have to go to a full 1/2".
