I do have batteries hooked up to the Vortech pumps, but to establish flow through the sump's various zones as well as the tank's overflow box is best. Water is oxygenated better because water combines with air through the plumbing as it pours into the sump, and the return pump brings this back into the tank.

For my previously smaller tanks (29g and 55g), a single APC 1500 did the job nicely for my two return pumps.

Melev what about a bank of batter backups. The power recently flipped over in my house a few weeks ago during a bad rainstorm and the battery backup unit kicked right in. Also it has the added benefits of cleaning the power that comes in which means protection the equipment installed to it. I'm considering purchasing a for more for my small setup.

CONGRATS! I know this has been a long overdue wait.... you have the patience of a saint!
I cant wait to see the tank filled!

It'll be a few days as I have customers waiting for orders I must complete, and I have a few things to order in. It's a beautiful tank to see in person though, and I love it.

its been 48 hours and 10 min since this was posted! which means there has been plenty of time between the delivery and posting....
i want to see some sand, rabbit, toes, rock, and the list goes on!

what is the schedule like or estimated continuance of the 400 looking like?

Well, its been 36 hours since delivery. Have you started the plumbing yet?

The extraordinary new and spotless mega tank of yours inspired me to spend 5 hours cleaning up mine.Even took a toothbrush to the corners. Your new tank does look absolutely amazing!

Congrats on the new aquarium. It looks amazing!

This is great news Marc. I'm very Happy for you. I'm sure it will be in full glory in no time. Thank you for keeping us all up to date.

The good news is that now that the source of all my power has returned, you can expect a lot more updates on Reef Addicts.

Congratulations.Looks like an outstanding tank.

Wooo Hoooo glad to hear Marc , its been a long wait ,, I am looking forward to the progress ,, good luck!!! and dont forget the pic of your excited look ,, LOL ,,,

The anemones are going into a 60g cube rimless. I have a ton of montis and a few acans in the frag tank demanding prime real estate for some time. But yes, I need more acroporas, and I'd like some M. digitatas if my Flame Angel cooperates.

You definitely need more acropora for the 400. The 210 almost look like a softy and anenome tank from the FTS.

Marineland simply did an 18 month water test before they shipped my tank to me.

There will be plenty of those coming in the weeks to come.

Yay!! So excited to see it finally back, I know you have to be. Will definitely be watching for updates.

Seems more impressive this time than when you first got it. Can hardly wait to see it full of water and livestock. I am sure that you cannot wait either.

I'm excited for you Melev. I can only imagine the day when I have to take down an entire wall to get my aquarium inside my house.
