ninjamyst Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 thanks everyone! i didn't make the diagram =P. it's just something that made the most sense to me during my research. my LFS quoted me $225 for a eshopps RS-100 sump. My jaw dropped. That's like the price of the tank! Now I am researching how to DIY a sump from a 20L. But the RS-100 looks pretty sweet. Link to comment

If you DIY just make sure it can handle holding enough water when the return pump shuts off, and also make sure the return section is as small as you can make it so if the overflow clogs the pump will run dry before overflowing the tank. Harder to do with smaller tanks. Link to comment

They're cheaper than Eshopps, free shipping, and IMO much nicer Link to comment

Nanofreak79 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Now I am looking at the CADLight Versa 42. I am not in love with the dimensions but I like how it is a complete kit with the sump and all the plumbing... I have there 68 versa. I love the regular plumbing used now, easier to make your own design. Sumo is nice, the tank comes with a mat and the Sump has sytyro under it. I ended up getting there ato container that sits on top of the sump, really like it. For the money there great systems. I have there 4( shallow as well, just sitting dry right now. thanks everyone! i didn't make the diagram =P. it's just something that made the most sense to me during my research. my LFS quoted me $225 for a eshopps RS-100 sump.

Lawnman Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 You still have those Sunny D's I sent you ? Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 You still have those Sunny D's I sent you ? no, i PIF those a while ago. BUT I still have your bambams. I thought they all melted, but I never threw away the frag plug they were on. Then months later, they freaking came back and exploded. I gave some to merthynia when she visited a few weeks ago so your lawnman bambams are spreading all over NR. Link to comment

ninjamyst Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Awwwww....let the fun times begin . Are they related? yup. someone found the mom on the street and brought her into my wife's animal hospital. Then they realized she recently gave birth so they went back and found 4 kittens. Two have been adopted already. We are fostering till someone adopts them. Link to comment

Don't know how people foster and not want to keep them . I thought about doing it but I know I'd have a hard time giving them up! Link to comment
Cameron6796 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I am so lost in this thread? You are moving and are upgrading is what I've taken away the past few pages right? And will the spec and pic one taken down? Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 I am so lost in this thread? You are moving and are upgrading is what I've taken away the past few pages right? And will the spec and pic one taken down? Hopefully moving in a few months. PicO leaked, and I was going to sell everything since I dont want to start a new tank right now. My dad ghetto fixed the tank so everything is good. Chris offered to fix it for real end of August so it will be taken down again and then restarted. Spec is still up but not sure if I will keep it up when I move. Once I move, I will be getting a bigger tank and keep the PicO running. That's why I may take down the Spec since maintaining 3 tanks is just too much. Awesome! Don't know how people foster and not want to keep them . I thought about doing it but I know I'd have a hard time giving them up! it is hard but having 3 dogs already make it a little easier =P. Link to comment
kimberbee Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Three tanks is waaay too much work. I am not enjoying having the biocube, fusion, holding tank, and monster tank all up at once. Ugh!! Plus, the humidity in my apartment is making it feel really stuffy and gross. Nope, two tanks max for me!! Link to comment
owenj Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Sorry to hear about the tank woes, ninja . But, speaking from experience, moving with tanks is no fun . Hope all works out, & so glad to hear that this is just a break and not leaving for good. Link to comment
