pgrVII Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Lol, I hate spending money but I love getting the goodies =). I'm big on the ultra light/light-medium tackle. I do a lot of float tubing so it's nice to be able to run with a 4'8 and be able to cast it where I need it. Depending on where i'm at, most the time my go to is a spoon from LipRipperz, works great. I'll jig a lot on the tube and drink beers all day. Haha. If i'm shore fishing, powerbait works best around here with a long leader... Lots of algae growth. Oh yea with the damn algae (shits a pita in both my damn fish hobbies haha) I like ripping crank baits on my 7' st Croix MOJO bass I have a pinnacle deadbolt limited that's crazy fast 7:1 haha. Musky I run a heavy st Croix mojo musky with an Abu Garcia and 85 lb braid with a tyrant 130# fluorocarbon leader ;p usually big flat sticks or the bulldogs are popular especially with pike Link to comment
Wretched Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Yea you're packing some heat with those fish. My 'home lake' average rainbows are like 2lbs. You'll get some nice 3-4lbs. Some nice cats in the summer. Last year I caught a 7lb rainbow which was nice. When I was stationed in Louisiana, let me tell you... damn that fishing was great. Some gnarly cats there.

pgrVII Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Did you get the hybrid yet? No I just got a duo,if I had more loot to drop I would've as I love t5s they fill in the gaps awesome,thst said my duo is a beast and love it, controllability is awesome and my tank hasn't looked better Link to comment
Wretched Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Hm, ever since I installed these new MJ1200 return pumps into my tank i've been getting tons of microbubbles. I turned off my skimmer to see if that helps, no. Any ideas? Link to comment

I turned off my skimmer to see if that helps, no. Any ideas? Hmm that's interesting. The maxi jets are pretty reputable pumps. Is it connected tightly ? Maybe a quick vinegar dip to remove any oils perhaps? I would say floss to block the return some to catch out the bubbles but would be hard with it probably being a return line through a false wall,correct? Could always get a sicce pump Link to comment

pgrVII Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 Yea my accellas from my old nano cube are about the same size as my sicce 1.5 should be ok I would think. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Yea my accellas from my old nano cube are about the same size as my sicce 1.5 should be ok I would think. And whats the GPH gain? I have 2000 from the MP40 and 600 from powerheads. However there are still sad dead spots Link to comment

Could always get a sicce pump I have it connected how my other pumps were. Just a tubing from the pump, to the false wall; a 90 degree elbow.. I know each return gainged like ~30-40 gph. I've read that maybe it's too much flow in my "sump"? Link to comment

However there are still sad dead spots 266 from the accella and 375 from sicce,however I put a return at top and bottom of my false wall and this weekend I'm gonna put the accella back on the bottom for extra return. I also run an mp10 and a rw4 in the display.I have it connected how my other pumps were. Just a tubing from the pump, to the false wall; a 90 degree elbow..

I'm bout ready to throw my skimmer out the window, it stopped skimming since yesterday. Might as well rum skimmer less because the POS doesn't produce without the green pad. Link to comment

Wretched Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Ok with all my anger and bitterness aside.... I tested running just one return pump(right), no skimmer. Microbubbles reduced like 90%. Ran 1 return pump(right) and skimmer, same... not much microbubbles. They're there but barely noticeable. Running Both right and left return with skimmer, microbubbles. So after trouble shooting i've come to; A) too much flow with both pumps in my aio sump. Or left pump is getting air caught in it somehow. Link to comment

pgrVII Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 I think it may be the flow issue but the air could be a possibility for sure to. Just burp the line. For flow you could use the pulse duotone make the pumps run 10 seconds or whatever time you want apart from eachother. How well does the duo cover the 40? It covers it perfect however gotta remember my 40 is only 30" of display as I have the false wall dealie that trimmed off about 6" Also Wretched make sure the return tubes are straight cause it would be harder to push a air bubble out with it bent,I know my jbj nano cube ones were wavy kinda and a pita.

Wretched Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 My B turned into a damn happy face lol. I'm unsure how air can be getting caught inside the pump. Link to comment

Oh, that's right....I was thinking the false wall ran the entire length. I like those NBs. Almost ordered one for the new cube...a hybrid. But, the wifey wanted a super clean mounting for the tank. No hanging shit from the ceiling was the stipulation. How do you like the lime? Link to comment
Wretched Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I just turned it back on and it's back to micro bubbles, cute. Back to my old return. Link to comment
Wretched Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Ok so, I put back my old return on the left side hoping it'd fix the microbubbles, and it did not. Currently have one accella and one mj 1200, same issue. So that rules out the pump idea. Now we're down to too much flow, or somewhere in the tubing there's air getting inside. But how? The tubing connects to the pump, do I need to tighten that tubing down with some zip ties? Link to comment

Wretched Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 The plastic loc line that's in front of the tank? Where the flow comes out of? Link to comment
