Merry Christmas

First off I wanna wish all you guys a Merry Christmas and thanks for all the help . On my days off I got most of the canopy done . My hands are worn out from all the sanding but in the end I think it will be worth it . I have a little more sanding to do and then comes the stain and varnish .

 

My set up is different then most. I personally dont like ph's in the DT, it clutters the view of the tank and sometimes kills the livestock. I use a Magdrive 18(1375 gph) as a return with about 3'&1/2 of Loc-Line spary bars. I think that the 3 MJ's should be fine and you have the Koralia 1 as a "in-case". Luna

Great job on the stand and canopy btw.

 

Luna I agree with you i tried to hide the PH's in the 55 in 3" pvc on the right side of the tank . After I put in the overflow on the left side a skimmer box in the middle and those two 3" tubes on the right to hide the return ,heater and PH's the tank looks clutered . I would like to find a way to make waves with out the clutter . I was thinking about one of those sea swirls on the return . Experements are expencive in this hobbie . I thought about drilling a hole in the divider on the left hand side of the tank that seperates the return and supply from the main tank and poking a PH through there ?

 

The spray bars eliminates the clutterness and creates flow and waves where ever you want. Luna

 

Stand and canopy look amazing! Any plans on the sump?

 

Luna how do you alternate the curent in your spray bars ? with some kind of valve ?

 

Thanks James I hope it looks Ok with the stain and varnish . I'm kinda leaning to a 100G rubbermaid stock tank . I plan on having it in the basement so I dont have to see or listen to much of it and I have all kinds of room for ATO and any thing else you guys talk me into adding . I have already bought a Iwaki pump for the return and I'm trying to decide on how to make waves .

 

I dont. You could if you wanted to. Just install a SCWD with two spray bars.

 

Bit of a slow down !

I got the stand and hood stained and varnished and was in the middle of bidding on some MH to go with the T5's in the hood and wham . Dec 30th work called me in and gave me a permanent lay off severence package and the door ( what a shock ) good thing I was going cheep . So i stoped bidding on the MH's and have been kind of in limbo . It's hard to spend any more money when I don't have a job but the only thing I need is a few pieces of plastic pipe and a sump . Hummm and I have all kinds of time to work on the project . What to do ? Here is the stand stained and varnished .
