RP Beesh Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 i'm planning to setup a 10g aga with a sump/fuge in it. here the diagram. it is to scale i'm planning to use 1/8" acrylic for the false wall. a maxi-jet 1200 for the return put and i calculate the head lost to be about 230 gph. do your thing that would be enough for a flowertank?

RP Beesh Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 i just finish my setup for blue led light. this is nothing to do with setting up moonlight effect but just leave it on for an hour after my 32x2watt turn off so i can view it at night. find it in target for 12 buck and it have 60 blue led light.

Gwoardnog Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 That's a lot of moonlights. I think most people get by with 2 to 4 LED's. But hey, if it works, it works (there are always dimmers). Looks like a hefty canopy as well. Just make sure your ballasts and lights will be able to be vented. For the sump refugium area I'd raise the fuge area baffles to at least the same height. I'd also raise them up more too. Remember* that those fuge baffles determine how much of a waterfall you have when the water flows over the surface skimmer. Some noise issues to consider there. There's also the question of if your small area for your surface skimmer is going to be able to take the flow of a mag3 in (water level issue). You might put a flow restricter on the pump just in case. Link to comment
RP Beesh Posted December 16, 2005 Author Share Posted December 16, 2005 just finish UTR skimmer i done one for my 29 gallon and now i'm making a small one for my 10 this will go sump/fuge it is 14X2X1.5 Link to comment
RP Beesh Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 do your think a maxijet 1200 would be find for a return pump? Link to comment
RP Beesh Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 this is were i'm goin to put the 10g. imagine a kitchen on the other side. everything to scal Link to comment
Gwoardnog Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Looks cool. You aren't really going to be having much of any head loss. So the return pump is up to you (I think the MJ would add less heat though). It'll also depend on how you want to split up the flow (Y's) or if there are any added powerheads for turbulance.

RP Beesh Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 here is were i'm going to put my 10g. right on the left side. Link to comment
Casabubu Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Wow, what program are you using for the blueprints? Awesome idea for a tank, however, 60 LED's can produce alot of light. Are you sure its not to much for a moon light? Link to comment
