Well, I think I may be plumbing the 240 and the 150 inline and to a remote sump, Kristine said I could put a hole in the wall, also said this is my last tank, the nerve. I have to say I think this will be my last tank. I have too many

I notice I have no pictures of my fish on the Blog, So I want to show them, Here is My picktail Trigger.

I have made some changes in my tanks, Now that I got the 240 , I sold the 3 drilled 33L frag tanks, I am keeping the 250 sump that with them. I took the 250 down and removed the sandbed, moved it out to place the240 into place and then place the 150 on the other side, I will also be moving or taking down the 55 gallon, I think I will put it in my sump room. one other thing is I can have the extra sump room in another room from the tanks, Just was not going to work out. I still think I will have the two inline, I will post pictures as the work starts

I have the triggers in the 150 sump with rock for now with the MR-3. I did lose my bluejaw trigger, I was taking care of a Stars and strips puffer and put it in with the triggers and the whole tank got sick, I have been fighting it for weeks now. I am to blame as i didn't QT the puffer. But it came from someone that I have never had a problem with his fish before, The puffer came out of his display tank.

Well I got water in the tank with the CLS hooked up and running for a leak test, I have one problem line that I may do away with anyway. I have a hammerhead for the CLS it rocks. I also have the MR 3 hooked up to a sump with liverock and the triggers in, Here are a few pictures. It is a mess in the room right now

Here is a picture of the CLS plumbing and pump. Baracuda pump , It will all be hide when I finish with the set up and get the 150 back up and running.

The front is off the stand so I can work, I have a sump hooked up and will do another small sump also, If you look ate the picture of the tank you can see the 150 to the right and 90 reef to the left

Here is the sump, The room is amess right now. LOL

Water is clean and tank is looking great, I will start adding the live rock and I hope to have the fish in soon, It will be pretty easy and with all the live rock from the sump, It won't have to cycle. I will post more pictures

All set up and ready to go! I love this tank.

Well after all the work taking down the tanks and moving and making changes to everything, I have the 240 running minus the CLS for now, the Sequence Barracuda pump rated at 4600 gph was too much, I will run it with a smaller pump later , the Queen is back in the 150, His tank alone, He hads gotten too mean to be with other fish, Not his fault. I am going to keep him. I am lucky to have that option having a extra 150 gallon tank on hand. here are some pictures
