Can you tell us details on that monster pump? What is it?
What do you use for mechanical?
Love seeing "under the hood" of other monster tanks. Always motivational......

Pretty sure this is the pump i have on the new tank. The 8500. I dont think ive seen a better pump out there http://www.evolutionpumps.com/Evolution-Pumps/Evolution-ES-Series-Pumps-sc-11411.html
I use the big 10 micron filter socks from aquatic eco for mechanical.

10 micron or 100 micron?? Never really seen anyone with a large setup about to run such a small micron rating of 10 on a large system.

Maybe it's just me, but something about that pump doesn't add up. It looks like a $200 BD lol, too good to be true. Did it come with a flow chart???
I studied the flow chart a long time ago when i first heard of the pump and it was legit. This is what all the saltwater guys around here use.

That's what I was thinking, but heck might be the next pump I buy. Thanks for sharing! ! Have you ever used a killawatt tester and seen what it really uses for power??

Sweet thanks for sharing, high flow seems to push through the low micron socks better then low flow. I saw all the socks hanging in the background 
with the first pics you showed.

Wow you did some serious work quick! It all looks great, makes me feel like I need to stop procrastinating so much.
I have & run an evolution ESM 4500. Its quiet, flow and power draw are pretty accurate. I spent a tiny bit more on the ESM series instead of the ES for the higher quality marathon motor and its been well worth it. Pump is a great bang for your buck.
All anyone on here ever seems to recommend is reeflo or laguna haha.
