hummers 55gal all wet

[hummer]

ok here it is my fish tank .i thought i would start a new thread thanks for following the build thread

there is 110 lbs of live sand .. 90lbs in the tank and 20lbs in the sump which i built there is 1500gal otb over flow with2 1" hoses feeding a 41gal sump the skimmeris a berlin clasic that treats 500 gal an hr ,the return is a mag 18 rated for 1800 gal an hr the flow throu the tankis about 1500 an hr once the live rocks in so the flow rate to gal in tank will be x 33 the tank

the flow is perfect.. all valves wide open except for the refugium but not sure how much flow is going too it though

i may need a couple of power heads still .. but will see.. hopefull not
but i dont think it i will need them

well here thay are the the pics
the first few are the tank just before the pump was turned on the rest well you all will know....

the very last pic .. in the first stage of the sump has so much water going to it it was spashing out it needed a cover so. i had to make some thing so i used a rubber mat that was made the same stuff thats under the sump. it also reduced the noise some thats was cool...no snags so far thank god

I have been reading along from the beginning. You have taken great care in building your tank slow to make sure everything was done right. Keep that pace and you will have a beautiful tank. Just some advice, you might want to get a controller for your tank, like the Reefkeeper II you will not be sorry, also look into getting an auto top off I know califronareefs has a good one that is inexpensive.

Cant wait to see the rock work.

Hummer question, is all that splashing and bubbles slowing down or minimal cause you'll have salt deposits everywhere at that rate =P

It looks awesome bud! You've done a fantastic job with it. Hope your bubbles are going away!
