I had considered a 60"x60" but can't go rimless at those dimensions, which I want to do. DSA said that the biggest rimless they can do with 3/4"...
It's started...
OK, so I'm jumping the gun a bit here, but it looks like we're going to make an offer on a new house. This means that the one-of-a-kind aquarium...
It should. No meaningful vibration will go through the vinyl. EDIT: If it does, lengthen the vinyl until it doesn't.
You can put the sump on a piece of closed cell foam and isolate the sump from the PVC by connecting with either flex PVC or up-sizing the PVC and...
Pump vibration?
Right where you are! :)
Yeah, but here's the good parts: - She really wants to move and I am "ambivalent" - The house has great potential, but requires significant...
Just looked at a house today. The wife loves it. A new build thread might be coming...
You had to ask... :) Head loss due to bends is related to velocity of the fluid and the radius of the bend in relation to the radius of the pipe....
Mike hit it on the head. I recently went throuhgh a period where I let my attention to my tanks lapse. When I finally started getting back into the...
I like it when I accidentally break a piece of coral while cleaning, put it somewhere in the tank and: [IMG] The smaller piece to the right is...
In quick enough succession? Theoretically yes, but that doesn't happen. If you want to get from 45000 uWs/cm2 to, say, 90,000, you basically have to...
Mine is the most docile tang I've ever had. Even my Kole is more of a little sh!t than my sailfin. He chases the starry blenny just for fun.
If you're running a reef, semi-reef or fowlr tank there are really only two reasons to have a UV: - Parasite control (and see some of my other...
Well then... don't stop at 24" :) The depth conveyed by 30" is wonderful, 36" astounding :) If you've never seen a 36" 300g tank see if you can...
That is probably the easiest, however... Give serious thought to using flexible PVC. I used it extensively in my build out and, while expensive,...
Then you should be fine. It pumps almost 1000gph @ 12' and about 500gph @ 15'
Sounds like a heck of a deal... For a non-24" tank :)
Comments: - 1.5" for a drain is good. - 1.5" between pump and sump on the return won't do much for you. - Make sure you don't have any elbows...
