Thats the truth! I dont have the greatest water pressure so my unit only makes about 35-40gpd!
Looking forward to pics of the tank! I still say you have one of the most beautiful tanks on RC! Keep up the great job! |

Would would need another hammerhead for your return in order to have enough volume to feed the closed loop. You have a gorgrous setup but the plubming does not make much sense |

Thanks for the compliments guys.

I think it makes more sense if you actually see it. Hehe, but yeah this is the reason I say not acceptable by RC standards . A little unorthodox and strange. |

I think its friggin cool! I wish I could have done the same and saved my nerves when drilling my tank.
If you have that much flow going thru your sump, how can your skimmer keep up? There is a reason why 3-5x turnover thru your sump is recommended. It allows the skimmer to process the water before it returns to the tank. |

The 2 3/4'' is feeding the sump. I'm thinking at most i get is 1000gph turnover from sump to tank because my Dart feeds both my phosban reactor, chiller, UV, and calcium reactor. On top of that the outlet to return water from my tank is going through a 1'' pipe to connect to my WavySea, basically a lot of restriction and multitasking.

Not that it means anything but your 210 is the model I am using for my 180 build. Outstanding job.

That is a beautiful Purple tang! I wish mine looked that good! He is all faded. I'm not sure why, he looked like your when I got him over a year ago. What do you feed your tangs?

I will definitly try that. I've been feeding nori soaked w/kent Garlic and brine shrimp plus for the last year. My Yellow and Hippo tang has great coloring but my Purple has faded quite badley. I'll feed formula One flake about 3 times a week, I've heard that flake food is not the greatest for tank conditions even though my water params are always on check. I think I'll try the F1, F2 and PR cubes tomarrow seeing as I'm about out of frozen food now! thanks for the info!

I finally received my T5 Tek2 reflectors last week and got around installing them the other day. I'm really liking this T5 + MH look. Check it out.
Here are the T5s only Here are the MH and T5s |
