Hey guys - I have a question for the pros. I am setting up a new 40 Breeder tank (some of us get bigger(TJ!), some smaller I guess!). I want to go powerhead-less as I want this to be an anemone only tank. I am trying to finalize the plumbing. Do you have any suggestions?
I have the 700 gph overflow kit from glass-holes. We were thinking to return through the back glass. THEN to get more flow and avoid the powerheads - a closed loop where we drill the intake (need good covering/anenome proofing ideas here too) and then return over the top (or drilled near top) into a big section of pvc with outlets pointing down into the tank. I saw this idea on wetwebmedia - any thoughts? LIke this: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/pbh2oret.htm Desperately in need of your advice! (also thinking maxijet utility pump 3000 for the sump return, 1" scwd on return line, and no clue what sort of pump for the closed loop type device - just something big.) Gonna change my red house to link to the 40 breeder if anyone cares to peek over. Quote:

The tank's not gonna happen now. I'm going to finish up the overflow, paint it, then sell it.
Sorry guys.

On a positive note... The frag tank got here tonight.
My 90g tank is going to also be broken down, sold, and consolidated into this tank. Then I'll run it as an SPS/Clam nano. It turned out absolutely beautiful. Last edited by Tswifty; 10/31/2008 at 07:37 PM. |

Sorry to hear about the unpleasant news. My wife always tells me that things like this happen for a reason. In your case we hope the reason is that your next move is for the better and the advancement of your career. Our thoughts are with you.

A local guy built the frag tank for me. I picked up the bulkheads from www.glass-holes.com http://www.savko.com/ also sells fittings I picked up the loc-line from http://www.modularhose.com/
