It looks like you've got the ultimate hang-out shaping up. And that's the nicest quarantine tank I've ever seen. Beautiful work... you're a Jack of all trades.

And I know the mesh mod will work well on this! I think I will be happy.

Looks like a Euro-reef CS-12. I think.

You got it 12-1. Basically just had to kick in an extra $50. Good thing I'm using a rubbermaid sump. It has an 18"x18" footprint

That thing will rock for sure. Out of curiosity where did you get it? Its ok if its none of my business.

quarintine tank. This is a 65RR. I finally have a saltwater tank running again Right now it is just running with a HOB filter, barebottom, with liverock. I will add a probablly 20gallon sump with an extra Red Sea skimmer I have laying around. Will be plenty for fish.

I have also picked up a luminarc and an aquacontroller 2 for the main system. Live rock and dry rock are still suring. I tested nitrogen cycle last week and ammonia was 0, nitrite 0.5 and nitrate 10ppm. Almost there.

Little further along. I am now waiting on a 1.5" side outlet 90 degree elbow for the last hole out of the OM that will feed 2 outlets in the front corners pointing at the rock work and one in the back pointing toward the front.
