Excellent progress Tal! This is the part I really dislike though...drilling tanks and plumbing sucks! Hopefully you will have some water running by Monday?

I painted the bottoms on mine. I thinkthe fish feel more secure, and I can see the schmutz. Nice system, Tal!

Getting used to the white PVC. Not painting it this time. I spent a bit more time making sure the holes were drilled in roughly the same spot and all the drain pipes were measured so they would be vertical. They are still adjustable though. Return line is just resting on the tanks for now. They will be attached to the frame tomorrow.

Tal are you planning on adding a skimmer or anything to the sump for filtration?

The skimmer in my broodstock system doesn't seem to do much. It is a good quality skimmer being a EuroReef RS-180. I wonder if the low SG of 1.020 is a factor? I don't think skimmerless is such a bad idea!
