Nice Dims... I'm excited to see it up and going.

Thanks True. I finished the plumbing and just layed out the rocks... Will post pics in a little bit.

Here is the pic of the tank plumbed. 1 1/2" drain and 2 seaswirl returns using a mag 12.

Think I'm gonna stay with rock layout 2.

I once had an awkward moment, just to see how it feels. LOL

Love XX :D

I like layout 2!!!! Was staring at it and it looks like a guy fell back and a rock fell and smashed his head (referring to the tonga rock) LOL keep us updated :D

Ha... I kinda see it now that you mention it... With the arms flinging up. Yeah I think I'm gonna stay with the layout 2.

I ordered NeoMarine salt along with some other goodies which should be here tomorrow so more updates coming soon.

dang, isn't it too much flow and heat with the mag 12? 'im using 1500gph, thinking to reduce it to 900 gph.

Sup Andy... The flow isnt that bad. Maybe due to my poor plumbing job? lol... I got a really good deal on the mag 12 new so I jumped on it... I read up on the eheim 1262 and will most likely change when I get the chance.

Very sweet set up. I like the double sea swirls. Very classy.

What happened to the other posts? Anyways... I got water in and the salinity is at a stable 1.024. Need to do param testing when I get home from work.

I made a durso pipe for the overflow but it makes a gurgling noise once every 5 seconds or so. Any suggestions on how to make this go away?

You might want to play with hole size in the top of the durso. It needs to breath and is sucking air, almost like gasping for breath.

Yeah I made the smallest hole possible. 1/16". My next project when I get home.

nice job man love those dimensions

Thanks j-soler.

Going to do the param test. Well, just amonia, nitrate, and nitrite... Results in a few minutes.

And the results are in...
Amonia .50ppm
Nitrite .50ppm or is it .25ppm you be the judge... cant tell them apart
Nitrate 5.0ppm
Here are some pics with flash

Thanks Bret, I made the hole bigger and the thing works like a charm now. No flushing or gurgling at all.

+1 on the smashed head dude...could be the TS's self portrait after more than one XX :)

About to change the thread name to Dos Equis! LOL actually that sounds good about now. Think Ill have more than one. lol:beer::thumbsup:

Is it normal for the skimmer to produce white foam for the first 2 days and not skim anything at all? I was thinking this is normal since there are no live stock in the tank but just wanted to make sure.

Nice tank.

Is it a new skimmer? It usually takes about a week or two to break in plus you dont have much to skim so I think it is normal.

Thank S2K, and no its a used skimmer tunze 9005 it was pulling some more foam when i checked this morning. I read the manual and it said to play around with the nozzle to adjust some stuff.. The tunze manuals sucks! They dont know how to explain it very well.

typical of things that are written in german then translated to english. You should see the workshop manual for my VW Corrado http://www.vortexmediagroup.com/images/banghead.gif
