37 gallon build (697 day update)

I wish I could sell dead coral for $100! LOL! Good looking pieces though!

 

Frsh2Salt - Greta progress so far! Do you have water in there yet? What do you think of those powerheads I've got 2 of the same ones & I think with the return pump added to the flow, it should be plenty for my 29g sps. What corals will you be keeping?

Nice rock BTW.

 

I don't have water in it yet I'm " taking it easy" reading alot on here trying to get everything ordered that i need .... I did get my pump in today but haven't plumbed it in yet.. I want to make sure the overflow works before i get some RO water from the fish store... Then i will put my baffles in my sump and fill it up with water... and pray for the best

 

So tonight i fill it with tap water just to do a practice run and the overflow seem to be working.... BUT IT IS SO LOUD !!!!! Oh and it surges flow fast then slow then it will catch up... I'm going to have to quite this down before i can continue.... Does anyone have any suggestions on how to quite a diy overflow????

 

Take apart the two street elbows. add the one inside the tank, back. where the 90 is, outside the tank, make it a T & cap it off. drill a hole in the cap & insert air line tubing.

 

Ask and you shall receive.

OK OK i broke down and bought the overflow with a return no more PVC nightmare.... thanks for the link

 

lol. I get for that much trouble it would be worth it just to buy the OF kit.

 

Your welcome. It is pretty dope. I'm going to rock one on my sea horse tank when I set it up. (to bad I won't need all the flow.)

 

so i got my kit from glass-holes.com today, and let me just tell you I was so nervous about drilling these holes, But everything came out great ..... the glass hole saws worked perfectly...

I ordered the

I will try and plumb it all into tomorrow and see if everything works like its supposed to
