More equipment

Some equipment I bought a couple weeks ago for the build:

• Fluval Sea SP4 pump
• Ecotech MP40w es
• Bubble Magus curve 5

There aren't many reviews on the SP4 return pump, but the people that seem to know it have good things to say.  It is reputed to be quiet, confirmed by Norman at Pisces so I decided to take a risk on this one.  Planning an unboxing/review video for the Youtubes.

I'm not confident that the MP40 powerhead will be quiet enough for me, but I really wanted one so I pulled the trigger.  If I don't like it I'm sure someone will buy it from me, at a discount of course ha ha!  Lots of videos out there on this one.

Continuing in the goal of silence the Curve 5 should fit the bill, and is reviewed to be a great value skimmer.  There is already a decent video of it running:

... but I'll probably do an unboxing vid of my own.

I still have to decide on lighting. Currently I'm set on Aqua Illumination, so its a matter of the Hydra FiftyTwos or the TwentySixs.

The tank, sump and stand are ready for pickup! Yay!  I'm sure Denny has gone over inch of it.  plan to pick it up today if it works out.
