Awesome build Luke. Great to see a nice build close to home in Indy.

Thanks guys, all we have is time in this hobby! As far as the build goes, i want to be happy with it so gotta do it right.

hey Luke i was soooo bummed to see you takin out the 300 skimmer... it would have been nice to see maybe a couple mp 60s in there... sooo was there a reason you didn't do BB on this tank?

Lovin the build I gotta get my 210 up and running still haven't gotten my 300 up and going... its killing me thou...

give me a call sometime i'd like to hear from you

Hey Marc, i'd love to keep that skimmer in there but its to freakin big! MP60's your nutz! lol. The 40's are loud enough, the 60's i'd hear throughout my house. I didnt do bb just because sand looks so much better. I do think BB is the best way though. U need to get your 300 up and running!

I'm tryin to sell this 210 so i can get the 300 DD tank... hey can you get a pic of your tank on the top over the overflows...

luke33 · Oct 11, 2011

Marc, you can see the euro on this pic. The piece inbetween the overflows doesn't make any sense but i guess its nice looking. I like to think of it as a splash guard.

Updates?

Love the set up and the lights. Any updates?

Btw, I'm still loving my RF LEDs :)

Is this tank still running? Would like to see an update. Thanks.

Dang, thanks for the bump. No, I have since moved a few times. I currently have a 185g acrylic tank, external overflow, only been up since mid Feb. Using an ati 8x80w with led supplement. I may have a build thread eventually. Fwiw, I never had much luck after adding the ceramic structure's, was always a struggle keeping phos and silicate levels down. I ended up tossing them out and going with LR, then my troubles went away.
