Keep up the good work!

Can we get back to the "closed loop" discussion again since you are going with a new tank?

biecacka · 04/20/2013, 12:01 PM

Still acrylic?
Who's making the tank?
I need details!!!!!

You didn't miss anything. Well maybe you did. Yes it's just one tank, I didn't feel comfortable as I said in a earlier post so I believe this will be a better fit for me.

It's just me Dan. I rather go with power heads. I will be doing a gyre flow and alternate it every 10-15 minutes.

Not sure about this man! With gyre flow your taking advantage of the momentum the water has! By alternating at short intervals you don't benefit from this

Come on you can't mention who's building it?? I'm curious as to who you went with cause we all know I pulled my hair out trying to decide on a builder for my tank....

Wayne, great forward thinking! By the time this is set up and rocking you don't want to have to worry about that old tank messing up your sweet reef!

What style of overflow will the new tank have?

Thats because I don't know who I am going to have build the tank. Heck I might even build the tank. That was my original intention at the beginning of this build.

External overflow. I want to utilize as much space inside the tank as possible.

aquaph8 · 04/21/2013, 10:30 AM

External is the way to go, I love mine. Its so nice not having a box inside the tank.

agreed...

Short intervals is basically randoem water flow as the Gyre will never get going and just crash into each other....

Gyre works great...takes a little time to get it right with your aquascape...but you need the momentum to build.....you would be better off with long time frames between intverals ....some even do 3 hour intervals but I would do half hours and work from there

I can't agree with you more. Oh I learned the art of multi quoting too.

Thanks because I have been researching how long I needed the flow to be. Thanks for the aid.
