    No likes a F'n show off Chris!




















    J/K. Love the stand and canopy combo. You won big on that deal.

    Personally, I would have drilled the tank to make the filtration system look cleaner. Get like 2x2260 with drill input and output lines. Other than that the set-up looks pimp!
    I ate my fish that died.

              Sweet looking setup, can't wait to see it filled with trophs. On a side note it must be handy having a little girl who can crawl inside for maintanence. Maybe I can borrow my buddie's daughter next time the 90 gallon needs a cleaning.

                      Clean looking setup!!! Loving the rocks, are they sharp? I get cut all the time by my petrified wood when I do cleaning or rearranging.

                        That filtration system he has on there will handle any amount of canister you can put in there. Much easier maintenace also.

                          how much output are you getting out of that wet/dry? Im thinking of going and getting an overflow box and setting one up on my 210.

                              thanks for all the comments

                              1. rocks are about as sharp as any other

                              2.the coralife pump does not have hardley any info on it except
                              The Coralife Turbo-Sea 790P Aquarium Pump has a flow rate of 793 gph.
                              • Max head: 20.7 feet

                              I think that means at 20.7 feet it puts out 793gal, notice I said think

                              but it is a high pressure pump and moves a ton of water

                              3. I have a drilled tank already and I really did not want to do it to this one, besides this wet dry is a hell of alot cheaper than 2x2260s



                              oh and my little girl charges the hell out of me!
                              but a bag of hot chips and a soda always does the trick


                              THanks
