shag26272 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Picked up a 40 Breeder for half price at petco, I drilled it , Built a stand,overflow, and now its filling with RO. I have a single 20k 400watt MH on the way im gonna probabaly try out the lumenarc reflector with it. No skimmer yet, the LFS has the octopus 150 for about 115 bucks. Ill also be using the new Koralia powerheads. Link to comment
wav3form Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Your water level will be low with that overflow the way it looks right now. Never seen one done with flex pvc before. Looks like a good start though and you'll like the koralia pumps. Link to comment
shag26272 Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 thats not the overflow, I just installed a 3/8 in. black acrylic overflow today in the corner, I just happened to have a few rolls of the flex PVC so I decided to put it to use Link to comment
shag26272 Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 plumbing is done and tank is almost filled, picked up a 300 watt titanium heater and im running that with a small powerhead and a biowheel filter to get the temp up and mix the salt, ill post pics soon Link to comment
proraptor2 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 The duso look a little short....you might have some sound in you o-flow because the water drops too far... Link to comment
shag26272 Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 so you think I should raise the T closer to the cap? Link to comment
shag26272 Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 heres a closer pic with the overflow installed, the HOB filter is to get some circulation while I mix the salt and heat up the water, my return pump will arrive saturday Link to comment
