I would put the valve on the drain line on the outlet end to allow a siphon to form more easily, but otherwise I like it

Listen Flo, if your progress slows down any more you'll be going backwards in time mate

Why can't you fill the tank to below the overflow and get things cycling now Flo ? Yodeling commitments etc will not be an acceptable excuse so rather than drawing pics how about you get a bucket of salt water and tip it in the tank.......... and then repeat until almost full...........

It's no wonder Vienna was voted the laziest capitol in a recent EU survey

Hahaha thank you master biggles

Man I have too take my time and find more money to burn on the tank

A good setup needs time and here I can't go into any store and get me all the pvc pipes I need... here I have to order stuff online and wait till those Germans deliver... it's a mess

So without going backwards in time I will start or finish this project soon

Then enough time for cycling and then back to acros

Cheers

Very true.
I believe it can be even cheaper, to go to Germany ourselves to pick up the stuff we need instead of spending more on shipping.
Our budgets gets lost with some shipping rates.
But all the way... it looks very clean Florian.
Any LED decision yet? Anything less than Radion G4 or AI Hydra will not suffice.

haha yes those germans and there shipping ^^
i think i am going with Philips CoralCare... i don't know if any of you know this lamp but a few friends of mine have it and they are very happy with it!!
even sps grow very good under it
radion g4 are on my list too but itīs still a cluster led and i don't think that is the way to go!

Cheers

Cool! I'd love to to your results with the coral care fixture. Looks very interesting. I've heard good things about it as well.
I really like the panel form for led lights.

Great!
Waiting for your Philips review. I'm would like to change lights but I'm still not convinced of the value for money for the high end lights. I have 120cm tank and 2 Ocean revive cost less than 1 Radion, Hydra, ... and I'll need 2 of that.
