  1. Frank,

     

    I think the most important thing with a sump is to think about what you want it to do. I know that seams obvious, but it isn't necessarily so.

     

    Do you want your skimmer in the sump, or outside the sump? Do you want a refugium? If so, how big? Is your return pump going to be submersible or inline? How many baffles to take out microbubbles are you going to have? What other machines are you going to have hooked up to it and where will they be?

     

    I am sure there are things I didn't mention, that you or others may have in mind, but I think you understand what I am saying.

    The skimmer is a in sump the is what the box on the side is for.

    The refugium is on top gets water from the return on the tank it spilt with a t vale and the rest is drop in to the sump.

    The return pump is inline.

    I have the frist set of baffles then is flows into a box the is 8in high then into the next set of baffles the should kill all micros.

    That is all that will be in the sump.

  2. Well the sump the tank came with just isnt cutting it so it time do my own. I was playing around with cad and this is what I came up with... So what do you think?

  3. I got a 125 from a friend add he has a few thing I don't need.

    Kent turbo Calcium 7oz

    Kent Supperbuffer-dkh 2lb

    Formula one and two marine pellets (Ocean Nutrition) 100g

    a hand full of power heads some Maxi Jet and zoo med PS-30

    There is probly more just have to get to it..

  4. Qty (2) SCWD (Switching Current Water Director) Wavemaker for $20.00

     

    The 3IQ SCWD creats current within your aquarium, encouiraging fish to spawn and insures your filter-feeding organisms are gaining full access to the food supply. The SCWD provides current without the use of electricity. Simply attache the SCWD to any existing power head, water pump or canister filter and it will alternate two output ports, simulating wave motion. The SCWD can be used internally or externally (with tubing). Switching speed depends on the power of your pump.

  5. Welcome to the site! Nice CL you have going there. Whats the other plans' date=' like lights, skimmer, livestock?[/quote']

     

    Lights will be like the old tank 2x 400 mh 1200k and a 175 20k (4) 110W actinics, VHO bulbs Model 660 Icecap ballast. Right now it has a tar ballast for the 2 actincs (that will have to go) for the skimmer I’m looking at a Reef Octopus RPS-2000 (not sure yet) and then I have to get a CA reactor?? as far as live stock goes it will be like my old tank a lot of SPS and clams and a little of everything else.

  6. Yea I forgot the name it gave me my dam email I need to change my name...

    So is my old tank still up and going? Yea I didn’t do the closed loop right. I reduced it too soon. On the new one I went with 1 1/2 as long as I could the flow is great now. So how have you been? I will be there? Hoping to pick up a pump for the main system so I can get this started...

  7. Some of you know me from a long time ago some of you don’t hello to all:D. I have been in the hobby for more than 12 years here and there. Well I’m back once again it’s a bug that you can’t get out of your system(nutty). I picked up a 125 last week and have started to assemble it DOH!. I’m looking forward to getting the new tank up and going but I’m taking my time to do it right.

    Here are some pics of the set up.
