sammy113 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I love the stand. I like the look of a solid wood piece with the unnoticeable hoods but I'm wondering how are this hoods holds in place? Did you finally found the ball tension catchers somewhere cheap? I think they'll work great in the top of the hood. Link to comment
suppressive fire Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 3 screws in order to take off hoods. Link to comment

suppressive fire Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 Ok more pics of the progress! This is to simulate a power outage.(to all of you that i would have to much drainback and siphoning:p ) sump to show no water in yet but showing how even with water ill have more than enough room for drain off. top tank middle tank ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sump baffles siliconed in. "Southard Style baffles" For higher flow sump to slow down the water and help micro bubbles to rise, Also the gaps are all different and in place to evenly distribute the water if you know what I mean. (this is done because the left side would have rushed in to the pump bulkhead quicker than the far side so that had to be compensated.) Comments Link to comment
sammy113 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Nice! I've never seen that kind of PVC baffles. Looks very interesting to me. Link to comment
supreme_spork Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 love those baffles. Link to comment
suppressive fire Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Thanks All, Heres the flow for the top tank (mainly sps tank) I used a air pump to show the flow. What do you guys think? Thanks, -Chris p.s. taken with a camera video so its the best I can do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku11VqrX4VU...feature=related Link to comment
halfpint Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Nice setup so far. I like your baffle design, and look forward to seeing how that filters out microbubbles. Tagging along. Link to comment
