Sounds like it needs to be removed. What is he trying to do?

Save up some coin and get yourself a proper overflow and a return pump.

Continuous duty right? Does the manufacturer mention anything about duty cycle or tubing life? Are you going to mount it over open section of sump in case of tubing leak at some point?

The operator at the water/wastewater plant said he has seen the tubing last anywhere from 9 months to three years, this is running 24/7.

I talked to a guy at the Corvallis one and he said they were only doing it for 40g and smaller.

Anybody know this guy, I drove up from Albany and can't get ahold of him.

It's not letting me pm you. If you can do it for 60 I'll take it.

There was guy active on here a few months back from Gresham that had big chunks of dry rock. His user name was an airplane resigistrqtion number, N0571 or something like that.

Some great shots there! I swear Nanoreefer just needs to quit his day job and become a professional photographer! He gets some amazing shots!

For real, he is killing it with the photos!

Cut that sucker down to 6" tall, bam! frag tank.

I've seen some nice builds from these guys:

TJ tritip, I have the new thermometer and pulled it @ 130, I think I will pull at 125 next time. It was really good. Thanks spectra for the thermometer suggestion, makes a world of difference from the crummy analog one I've been using.

Pick up a black box, hard to beat for the price.

I wouldn't trust it without at least scabbing it and pier or jack supports. Those joists are not engineered for the type of loading you are planning on putting on it.  Code calls for 40 psf, with the 300g, you are getting close to 200psf.

Steel stand?

This will go quick. 

That picture was from a thread on RC. The guy in that thread said it was from Europe something something. Should be fairly easy to make though. Maybe @pdxmonkeyboy could help ya?

Are you looking to hang it, or fab something that screws onto the side plates of the ATI? I can see a slick solution made of acrylic that bolts onto the ATI side plates. I guess it depends on how high you want the lights.

They sure look like a good pump head.  I don't see any adjustment on that particular model...

 

They make adjustable ones too, also you can swap out hose diameter for smaller flow rates.

Anybody use these?

I was doing some work at a small town and the operator swears by these pumps.

That's what grinders are for, hah.

I've had good luck in the past fabbing stuff out of aluminum using those low temp rods. Should be a simple build, and you can cut aluminum with most wood blades.

Are you against using the bent conduit method?

Looks like I missed another great meet. 

Photons are photons, Sanjay will tell you the same thing. Also, I've never heard of a D120 catching on fire.

Are you willing to sell any?

I only have like 10-15 and they are all my original shrimp. You can get them on eBay for a decent price.
