So all the bubbles would go to that top, and then an aqualifter or BRS Drew’s Doser could be on 24/7 to keep the system “primed”. An upright overflow? Omg. Water is sucked out of the top and goes to the bottom section. Imagine that. Crazy! I think that might constitute as a closed loop system, which is not allowed? *Shrug* Quote Link to comment

I mean a tank that is filtered via water taken UP out of the top 1 Quote Link to comment

You get those plumbing ideas out of your head! Unless it's for a future tank Or unless 'this keeps air out of my tank environment' doesn't count as plumbing for filtration? idk 1 Quote Link to comment

teenyreef Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Ok I see you are using a teenydong, I'm so flattered 7 hours ago, Mariaface said: And after much debate over the dongs in @metrokat's tank and how we could place them (then corals to make the Chosen Dongs pretty!) we arrived at this masterpiece! We've got a teeny dong, some multi ended dongs, some chunky ones... On 10/16/2017 at 4:30 PM, Mariaface said: Ding Dongs before Ho Hos? Best. Post. Ever. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
duderubble Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 It's very cool. Like I just said in another thread, coraline algae could be a real issue for many of us in these round tanks. This one seems like it could be especially challenging if it grows coraline. 1 Quote Link to comment

We're newbs to this reef thing, so really I'm looking at it as an experiment to learn more and more. Love this container! Great job! 1 1 Quote Link to comment

jahnje Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 So many pointy dongs everywhere. It's the bird on top that really does it for me though. This is really awesome, and I agree that the high contrast yellows and greens really make you stand up and take notice. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Mariaface Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 We're for sure getting banned (at least temporarily) at some point in the next 6 months, huh @metrokat? Captain Hammer would have something to say about that Ban Hammer. 3 2 Quote Link to comment
