My New SPS Reef - Page 3

I really dont see how that overflow will work. Having the slot for water to overflow into being on the bottom, wont that suck in the sand from the bottom also?? Can I see more pics of the overflow set up?? It looks interesting the way you set it up. Nice build so far

bigdee · 10/26/2010, 02:54 PM

Would you mind taking more pictures of the overflow. Is the hole in the little box the return?

If so, where is the water draining to?

Hi,

It´s too soon to talk about performance, but the bk cleaned my water in a couple of hours. Before I bought him, I did a lot of research and I think bk 180 is one of the best option for me

I will , just give me a couple of hours to do a good pic here

Denadai · 10/26/2010, 06:00 PM

Guys,

Here is the draft as I promisse, very simple

The water falls in the red hole, and them go to inside the little box, that´s it

Imagine that you are looking below the main display. Hope it works

Henrique Franze · 10/26/2010, 06:05 PM

Simple, clean and beautiful, an inspiration for your friend here.

Henrique Franze · 10/26/2010, 06:56 PM

I know that Denandai draws very well!
But I think these pictures can help a bit ...

This is a complete system, with overflow, and a second emergency overflow. We can even make a return by this system.

Like this:

Hey Denadai!
Nice project....lol....fun reactions on your overflow! But relax guys, it took me some time to fully understand it too.....but this images Henrique posted makes it very easy to get it.
gratz!

agcneves · 10/26/2010, 07:27 PM

Hi Denadai,
Congratulations for the project.

Certainly it will be a gorgeous Reef for SPS.

Greetings!

oh haha what were your other options besides the BK? I have a tank like yours and possible look into an upgrade for my skimmer. I have a decent deal on a 2nd hand BK Mini 200. But the thought of getting the spares if my skimmer breaks down troubles me. lol

gasman059 · 10/27/2010, 05:50 AM

beautiful!

sahin · 10/27/2010, 07:22 AM

What model is the Eheim pump? I am thinking of going with the Eheim 1250 so that the pump does not transfer too much heat into the water.

Looking well so far. Cant wait to see what you do with this tank.

I was thinking in Alpha 170, Reef Octopus Cone 2000, the new Deltec APF 800 and Bk 180

Oh wow, nice list! hahaha
but why not Alpha 170? or Reef Octopus? I thought these 2 are already pretty good especially Alpha Vertex!

The alpha 170 I saw some guys with microbubbles problems, octopus I saw some broken impellers and pumps, and the Deltec I already had one in my last tank.

I want to try something different, so the oscar goes to bk 180

gasman059 · 10/27/2010, 08:05 PM

Denadai I use to run a mini 200 gen 2--- great piece of equipment--- and quiet. You will not be dissapointed.

I'm a fan of their tanks...I allready read your posts on zeovit, brasilreef, and reefdeep.. In fact my next tank will be planning and based following his designs.... Please post a pic that How you return the water (on top of the aquarium ? ) or how ?... thanks...

ctxmonitor · 10/28/2010, 12:26 PM

very unique overflow design.. Haven't seen those before and i guess it must be custom made.. Always learning something new..

Seems like you really thought this out before starting this tank.. Patience is a virtue. =)

Denadai · 10/29/2010, 04:26 PM

Hi Guys,

The reef is running

Now I will wait at least 20 days to add the fisrt fish or coral

Best Regards

DML08 · 10/29/2010, 07:10 PM

Awesome.. are you gonna add more rock or is that it?
