Iam looking forward to it starting up and cycling finally, when I get all my live rock and everything we should talk about calc reactor and some other things I will need to get it up and functioning for a nice reef. Iam a fan of getting something really cool and fancy to make the tank look killer. Btw I haven't been down at ur place how I's the big tank going?

reefnjunkie Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 The builds looking good Serge! In the sump all those extra baffles are really needed from what I have been told just a single baffle seperating the return side where the skimmers will sit seperating that section with the next that looks like you are doing a fuge, After that place your set of 3 baffles to act as the bubble trap. Just make sure you leave enough space (meaning dont make your baffles to tall) in the event of a power failure to where the draining water does not over fill the sump- You have more patience than I, I would have bought a booster pump (oh wait I did) and overdrove the RO/DI unit Good idea skipping the tusk-I have had one and they arent reef safe-spendy appetites. The blue throat and crosshatch have been known to be reef safe (use with caution) Anyway good looking build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trautman Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Looking good Serge!! Just tell me when you want those t-'s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smann Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I would move the first partition over a little and make a rack for some filter socks, If you are going to use them. Another partition in the center and then the bubble trap on the last one, the last chamber could be a little smaller, give you more room in the other two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergebmw3 Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Thank you guys for the amazing feed back and yes I'll be contacting u for some T5 here soon and as for the sump the only reason why my space I'n the return I's big I's because iam running a dart with a 2" inlet that creates a lot of sucking power when I tested it I had a whirlpool being created with 8 " of water I'n the sump Scary!!! But I agree with u on the sock part that's what I wS thinking ad well the other day thanks I'll start on that sump right away. Kimberlee what did you mean about the non reef safe and reef safe part sorry iam a little lost. But yes I have been waiting for some time now. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=45.496373,-122.578475 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
