    It's not a "problem" so much as it is a difficult solution. But as of last night, it's done. Matching draft lines between 2 interlocking parts and factoring in shrinkage etc...

    I will have limited phone access from Friday 2/26 through Wednesday 3/2. The limit will be determined by my wife - who has total control over the hotel safe code and whether or not my phone is in there. So if I don't get back to you right away, that's why!

    I couple friend of ours is getting married on Leap Day in Cozumel - the guy's idea, of course. Hope he never forgets an anniversary because then it's 4 years of living that down. Of course the timing of this sucks because that does delay the whole L2 rollout a bit - but this has been planned for over a year so there's nothing I can do about it that wouldn't involve me getting a black eye followed by divorce papers. It didn't help that work kicked into high gear Monday, followed by my wife getting a stomach bug Tuesday. Can anyone tell me why things happen like that?!?!? Pretty sure I hear a chorus of tiny finger sized violins right now though after saying where I'm going.

    But anyways, I did get the first few units out the door before I left. I hope my wife gets better (alcohol seems to be helping already, even in the airport...yes, drinking my 2nd margarita before 11am - it's going to be one of those trips) and also hope this trip goes better than our Universal Orlando disaster (which was where one kids ended up in the hospital and her & wife missed pretty much the whole trip). I'm trying to talk my wife into doing some diving, but we watched Open Water a few years back, probably a mistake.

    Right now the "confirmed" wait list for the L2 sits right at about 75, I've weeded the overall list from ~250 down to ~175. That means if I've contacted you directly and verified your interest in an L2, you will have yours within a month.

    Thanks everyone for your patience, especially those of you in the first group who already paid and agreed to wait until next week for their unit to ship.

    My filtration now is typical using overflow box sponges, live rock and skimmer. lot of coral, lot of fish and LOT of algae. L4 it is. Please put me on that list. Appreciate your time and diligence in your project.

    I've got you on the list @Kevin G!

    Also, I'm back. Got a lot of things to catch up on so the next batch will ship out on Monday (but I might squeeze a few out the door by the end of the day tomorrow)

    I will put you on the list, the first 100 units out the door will be at the intro price, after that I may raise it. You might be in that bunch.

    No worries, from what I've seen on other tanks, even if it goes up some it will be well worth it.

    What kind of GPH does the L4 require? Would like to try to run it off a manifold if I could.

    About 400-450gph for the L4

    @jon99 beat me to it, 35 GPH/in of screen is the guideline, so 12" -> 420 GPH. If you wanted to go high flow, you can crank it up to 50 GPH/in -> 600 GPH. No problem running off a manifold

    I revised this statement below to add L8 and L16 into the offer, and clarify the details a bit, any revisions/updates will be kept up to date here:

    Oops! Thought I had replied to this!

    You're coming up on the list, I'm getting people tied into my support system as I get ready to invoice them. You're still about 20 down on the list (of people not yet invoiced)

    Now that I seem to have resolved pump problems, I'm very much thinking of getting a new L4 for my 180 and moving the L2 to my 75. Only Q I have is how to mount Rev 4 L4 above 18" wide sump. Will brackets for old L2 work with new L4? I would also need 12" brackets to mount Rev. 3 L2 above 75 sump. Will these still be available?

    Yes, old brackets will work, new brackets are coming soon. These will be a 2-piece sleeve + insert design that you can cut yourself to fit your needs
