reeftankguy Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Any updates? Hey... Not really... I modified the Sump by moving the supports that hold the grid up like I show in the pictures... Still waiting on the Mame before I skin the stand becuase I want to test it on the tank and find out where it will hang... that will determine where I cut the hole in the side of the stand for the Out Flow (Mame to Spraybar) hose... It sucks but I'm taking my time and want it configured right... Thanks for the intrest dude! Your tank is looking great BTW... Link to comment
dubsmcfly Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 a lot of potential here....Looks really good so far, i like the stand as well Link to comment

reeftankguy Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 UPDATE: Things are on Hold... I received an email from aquatouch.com and the delivery date for the Mame Overflow has been pushed from end of October to end of December They offered me a full refund but I told them I wait since I already paid in full... OH well! Link to comment
reeftankguy Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Bummer :-( Well December is around the corner, Hope Mame's promise to Aquatouch for a December delivery is finally a reality I'm really wanting to fire this project up Link to comment
MedRed Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I'm considering getting one two for a new rimless project. where did you get your sump? Link to comment
reeftankguy Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 I'm considering getting one two for a new rimless project. where did you get your sump? Whats up Med! My sump came from my Fowlr setup I purchased in the early 90's... What interest you about it? If it is the rotating spray arm You can reproduce it... Very simple to do with stock PVC parts... BTW... Glad to see the Original MedRed AV... Creepy but I dig it! Link to comment
MedRed Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I was just thinking it looked like a nice, simple, sump to use for a smaller sized tank. I don't want anything huge or expensive for my next build. mame still on track for this month? Link to comment
reeftankguy Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 mame still on track for this month? I received the same message from AquaTouch as in November, except this time they said they have been shipped but haven't received a tracking number from Mame... I'm going to say probably wont happen till 2011 Link to comment

reeftankguy Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 :inbeforeanyoneelse: ---> I received my MAME OVERFLOW today... Very nice! My only complaint is that the whole manual is in Japanese So I guess I will just follow the illistrations to assemble it... The hard part will be figuring out the operation of it! Pic of the assembled overflow soon to follow... Link to comment

divecj5 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I'm sure you're happy that you stuck it out and waited. Looks like a sexy glass work of art. Can't wait to hear how it works out for you. Link to comment
reeftankguy Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Thanks for the comments CJ5 and Med... Sexy is right! Here it is assembled... I wont have time this weekend to setup a test run, but maybe next week I will have a video for everyone that is interested in seeing it work on my setup... ? Link to comment
divecj5 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Thanks for the pictures. With your hand in the pictures, it gives a better sense of the scale and overall size. Really like the last shot as well since it shows how it hangs on the rim and the space needed behind the tank. Adam Link to comment
reeftankguy Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Adam, It looks bigger in the pictures than it really is... It compacts about approx. 24" worth of glass tubing into such a small foot print. I think the concept behind this overflow is based on the 180deg bends to allow more flow/suction through probably 24" of 1.25" diam. tubing. Sort of like the Bose Sub-woofer technology... I cant wait to fire it up, but I have to be in Houston this weekend to upgrade some iPad Medical Apps I developed for a Dr. Client I have... Jon... Link to comment
GiantBen Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 RTG: That's a pretty ool looking overflow. This may be a stupid quetion, but does that remove the need to drill the tank? Ho dows it work? I'm on;y familiar with the "wall" tyle oveflow, lie a BC has. Link to comment
