looks like newman's clam. those get like 16" long right?

[devilsadvocate]

#### if I know.

[devilsadvocate]

added a HOB filter today. hopefully this will help with removing junk from the tank and lower the nutrient levels.

[ayobreezie]

Sick looking clam. the filter, you'll probably not want those sponges and stuff in there unless you religiously clean them off.. they trap a lot of crap, but that crap buildup will release back into your tank eventually if it's not cleaned often enough.

Making progress on my stand. Should be finishing it this week or early next week.

It will have a pine(back) and fir(front) wood finish. Should be a very pretty stand.

[Squared]

i see your stand

[iball1804]

i see your stand

 

 

He seemed glad you didn't...

[Coastie]

Thinking it's definitely sturdy... haha

[devilsadvocate]

it wont be done till next week

[iball1804]

Are you going to finish it?

[devilsadvocate]

Thinking it's definitely sturdy... haha

yeah, totally. but its all free. the school is paying for it all. YAY PROPER USE OF TAX PAYERS MONEY!

[Squared]

how is that?

 

this tank is going to be at your school?

[devilsadvocate]

no im making it in shop class. as a project.

[Squared]

oh cool. lol. how resourceful. what kind of wood?

[devilsadvocate]

pine on the back and sides i think. and fir on the front. probably not onn the back cause i wont it open.

[devilsadvocate]

also i had an idea for a fuge in my sump. im using a 29 gallon sump(sitting in the garage) if i sectioned off like 10 or so inches for the fuge and have a really tall baffle on it, and drill a hole in it and have a very low gph pump, could i just let it over flow into the mine sump through cut teeth? could it work?

[Squared]

i guess...im no sump expert...can you draw a sketchup?

[devilsadvocate]

uhhh. no. maybe let me try.

 

EDIT: nope.

[Coastie]

would the pump be pushing water into the main portion of the sump or pulling water from it?

[devilsadvocate]

Pushing.

[devilsadvocate]

wait, actually it would be pulling from the main part of the sump, or blowing into the fuge.

[devilsadvocate]

here is what i (my step dad) drew up.

 

[Coastie]

In that case, why not just run the intake into the fuge, same concept, less equipment. Unless you are trying to dial a specific amount of flow through it.

 

You could also make the middle section the fuge, place the intake in the left side with all of you heaters and what not, or you could also split a section off of the return pipe and run it into the fuge section with a ball valve on it. That way you could regulate the amount of flow going into it. Another option eliminating power usage.

 

Just some thoughts.
