| I have found some rock tends to go a long way, while others don't. I have never used macrorocks, so I am not sure how dense the rock is. Aquamend certainly is a great item. Can't wait to see this all come together for you.

| Well not much has changed but I have gotten a huge part for the closed loop!!!! The barracuda pump!!!! This pump pushes 4300 gph!!! I think for a 5' 150, this flow on a 4way is going to rock!!! And the best thing is the cost. FREE!!!!!!! I helped my good buddy out one Saturday at his house and in return he buys me a pump. Talk about a good trade!!! Here's a couple of pics of the pump

ok folks!!! I got a big update!!!
FTS

more pics around tank



And my light tray. The idea is for a 2 part canopy. The lights will be on one and the outer shell will be the other. I figure this will be easier to work in the tank and easier to remove the the top..

oh I forgot to show the sump room. We stripped out everything and used the old 120 display tank for the sump. The plan for this room is to have the RO top off and the new saltwater tanks to be as automated as possible. Just a switch or ball valve and water ready.
Also I plan on having a small fish wall. Two 30 breeders for coral propgation and one 55 gallon for a refugium.
Here's some pics...
