d2mini's "Essential Focus" Mixed Reef Build

[FrankAbagnale]

Love the attention to detail! Now, go ahead and get some rock and sand in that tank!

 

[d2mini]

Oh i see now, you went under the sheet rock...

heh heh, yep. The space between the sheetrock and floor. ;)
Same with the front corner near the tank.

As far as more lines, good idea but honestly the two is all I would ever need. There's only two kinds of water... fresh and salt! :)

 

[sheldonjjessup]

Ah, yes... those are just the ones that are threaded on the other side.
I couldn't find double ended ones either (the center is always much thinner than the ends) so I just got these and force fit the lines into the threaded end.
The caps aren't really thick enough to work with the threads on the fittings so i just made sure the holes were small enough that it was a fairly tight fit, and then a little crazy glue holds them in nice and solid. ;)
And a small hole is drilled in the cap to allow air in.

Bulk reef supply has them
