New tank arrived

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I added two 2" connections between the sumps and and everything is good to go now, the one hammerhead pump leaked around the pump casing so i had to take it apart and reseal the o ring, it must of gotten pinched when it was put together. I let the whole system run on freshwater for about 24 hrs, and this morning I added salt. The skimmer isn't running because the pump for it wont be here till middle of next week.

skimmer is up and running now, i went with a iwaki mdx 400 1/2hp pump and everything seems fine, hopefully the skimmer will kick in within the next few days. here are a couple pics of everything running, still waiting on the live rock, hopefully get it later on in the week.

thanks yeah everything seems good so far, the pressure gauge is on the pump feeding the skimmer, I wanted to make sure i was getting the 10 psi it needed. the pumps kinda loud but i expected it to be.
