seabass Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Thats hilarious!! roflmao!!! You have to make that something. sig, av, something. That's a buttload of sand. Anything special going in there? Like... super sand digging critters or something?Mostly seagrass. I wanted a true DSB. wow, that's a lotta sand Believe it or not, it's still shy of six inches. Operating sump: It easily handles the back flow during a power outage. To help clear the water, I added some floss to the filter sock. Also, I ran the skimmer's collection cup drain back into the sump until it breaks in a bit. The Bubble Magus BM-NAC3's pump was quite picky. It wouldn't turnover at first. Then I disassembled the needle wheel and got it turning, but it was extremely loud. I was able to finally silence it after a few attempts. However, it looks like it will be a decent skimmer. FTS of the display in operation: The Maxi-Jet 1100 Utility Pump is providing a good amount of flow by itself (the display holds less than 10 gallons of water above the sand). Link to comment

seabass Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 I've had this for a couple of years and never played with it. I know right? Now I have to say that I don't know how I ever lived without a controller. Link to comment

I guess it's time to order in some seagrass. Link to comment

seabass Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 So I added some livestock yesterday. I was hoping the rock would break the flow to the front which was causing the sand to blow around; unfortunately, it didn't. Here's a look at it today. So I decided to downgrade the pump from a Maxi-Jet 1100 utility pump to a regular Maxi-Jet 900. This solved the problem. Plus, it stopped the bubbles that were coming from the drain (which was forming salt creep around my sump). Here it is with the newly downgraded pump. Shortly after taking the picture above, I accidentally dropped the light fixture in my tank while adjusting it. This is the second time I've dipped a lighted Tek light in water. Luckily the GFCI tripped instantly and everything was alright. I took apart the fixture and cleaned it out with distilled water and a can of compressed air. It still works like new. I'll add the MP10 tomorrow. If everything checks out OK, I'll move some snails over. I'll probably wait for the seagrass before I move the fish. Link to comment
