Can you post top down picture of the way the built in filtration is laid out? I'm sure we can find a skimmer that will work well for you.
The sumps for the fish systems are going together tomorrow morning. Anyone who would like to have a look at and critique any potential problems of...
I need some help with a sump design. I think I have everything well worked out, but I wanted to run it past the keen 3reef eyes before getting out...
Looks much much better. Can't wait to see some life in there.
I totally agree with all of that. If you're running your skimmer in a slow flow compartment before the fuge it's going to clean the water much...
No problem. It's always good to see people asking questions before the water's in the tank.
Wow! That is one nice piece of equipment!
Very nice looking set-up. I would just run all flow into the skimmer compartment. You want all the water to get skimmed. If you put some chaeto in...
If you put in a Y that splits flow between the skimmer and fuge, you will still be running all flow to the fuge. Chaeto actually grows very well in a...
Looks great, but I would try to get it away from the side glass. I started mine that way and regretted it until I fixed it. It's just to hard to...
Does the bottom of the overflow plumbing go into the sump in the same way?
Bump
I don't see any problems with that at all, and that should definitely help out your fight against algae. Post pictures for us.
A fuge/sump would be the way to go as far as keeping noise down. Wet/dry filters can add quite a bit of noise and are not as efficient.
I like the idea of using an overflow to feed your closed loop. That will make sure things don't get sucked into the intake.
Very true along with a lot of other things we fabricated.
That's the best and most common analogy of it. I've just been trying to understand why better. I read on NASA's site that they have tested this...
Hold that thought! Inspector gadget! Now that's the kind of Steve I want to meet. GO GO GADGET SIPHON HOSE!!!
That sounds like a good idea. Have you built a body for Steve yet Matt? I picture him in something terminator style but a little bit more...
My mind has gone cross-eyed on this now. I think I need some sleep. I see your points Peredhil. Time is time. It seems more like what were talking...
