Another view of the return finished. The return again is pumped by a reeflo hammerhead pump, then again two more hammerhead pumps for the closed loop. This tank is gonna have some serious flow. Six Flow accelerators off the return manifold.

thats great I will update tomorrow. Gold rush tonight




Thank you very much for taking the time to post and take photos. How tough was the arcylic to glue up?

Well because of it was my first time working with acrylic it was challenging. The biggest hurdle was getting the edges perfectly flat. Glueing is simple

Just read through all the posts and wish more would have commented. Read a lot of build threads and hours was by far the best. Hope everything else went smoothly and now can sit back and enjoy it. Thank you for sharing.

I know, but been busy here at our.new garden shop in Stamford. Sucks though Ive had a 250 g display up for 10yrs and had tons of great seeded rock to add to the 500 to jump start it but a seam blew and that was the end of that. All my live stock is up the street , all the rock is on my floor on a moving mat
