    Is it easy to remove them with that stuff. I was afraid to try it because of that. With the stickers they come off with a razor blade pretty easy for replacement or what ever reason.

    not as easy as i would imagine tape to be, but its not hard to remove at all. i just take a small flathead screwdriver and give it a little bump with the palm of my hand and they will pop off.

    Im hoping to get some good energy savings with this. Im hoping to be able to take my protien skimmer off-line after this thing is up and going. Thats one mag-12 out of my sump and alot of heat to go with it. Not to mention the extra space i will have.

    Its nice when you can take things out of line and save time and money.
    I am very happy to be not using anything but a scrubber, oh and a couple power heads for flow in the DT, I dont use anything but a drip bottle for my Kalk, Ca., and Mag. Matter of fact I dont even have sumps on my SW tanks anymore. What I have done with this savings is build some LED fixtures. I am working on my LED build for my 150G now, I got one strip build and installed and only have 4 more to go!! LOL. Its slow and study around here, I got four kids in school, two are ready for college after next year, and My wife is in nursing school for three more months then she will be working for a few months only to go back for her PhD. Once that is done I hope to put a bit more into the hobby.

    So i got the fixture put together tonight and made a slot for it to sit in so it can be slid back and forth for adjustment. Did a quick install see if there were any problems. The only problem i see other than the obvious needing to black it out and put a lid on it is that i need to bring the water level down a bit. Other than that i think this will work. My original plan was to use the overflow from my fuge to flow water through it but i just put a maxijet on it and drilled the bulkhead a little smaller than i had planned at first. I think i may drill it a little bigger so it will bing the water level down the little bit that i need. here are some pics. Ill be starting the progress pics as soon as i get the bugs worked out. Oh yeah, i upgraded the air pump......big time.

    Its not that bad. im going to put a 90 on the drain coming out of the scrubber and run it down to the water line. just didnt have one last night. I have a lid for the compartment of the sump also but it will have to be drilled to accomodate the scrubbers drain pipe.
