Hey Butch. Is that a sedra pump for the skimmer? And a mag 12 for the return pump?
I am having a hard time containing myself with my system. I have to sit here at work all day and then I have some appointments after work. I was up till 10:30 last night messing with it and I had to get up at 3:45 this morning for work. I need to get about 20 more hours in a day.

Sweet, I'm gonna do my water change today (I think) and swish my rocks. I think I'll bring some more up to the tanks and do I faux mock up of an aquascape just for fun. The wife wants to go get a plasma HDTV today but I'm having to much fun playing with this. If every thing checks out tomarrow I think I'll throw in a couple shrooms and see what happens.

Thats very clean looking. I can't beleive you have all that stuff under your tank. I would personally have those multi plugs up high. Any little bubbles that burst in the sump will spew salt water all over inside the stand and it will eventually build up on the recepticals and short them out.

Thanx Jason, you're right. But It's all gonna change again when I get the Reef-Keeper 2 Controller. Most of the plugs will go to the controller. They say no deliveries until the end of the month.  So I'm doing my lighting manually!!
I know...Tom would say "Patience grasshopper"
