racechase Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 alright i didnt much care for the MH (way to hot for my comfort level, no customization, and the shimmer annoyed me lol) so i returned it. now i have a Catalina Solar 4x24W T5HO fixture on order. i got it without bulbs or moonlights (i'll probably DIY a moonlight in there eventually) so its only $145 i also ordered some bulbs from aquariumspecialty.com 1x UVL super actinic 1x KZ Fiji purple 1x Aquablue+ 1x Actinic white im stoked (lmfao i went over the emoticon level allowed by the forum ) Link to comment

adolfo425 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Nice design for over flow and sump design. Do your research on DIY overflows to see which ones work best. I have one sitting in the back seat of my car made of PVC. Link to comment

I have one sitting in the back seat of my car made of PVC. im thinking of making an tiny overflow box that skims the surface. my only concern is - what if theres a power outage and it drains my tank?

CL_ Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 im thinking of making an tiny overflow box that skims the surface. my only concern is - what if theres a power outage and it drains my tank? It would only drain it down to the top of the overflow Or are you talking about the output? Just get a check valve for that Link to comment
racechase Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 It would only drain it down to the top of the overflow tru dat back to the drawing boards (aka Paint) Link to comment
