Awsome set up!!! I love the plumb job, sweet tank

 

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b298/ihateian/mech-filtration.gif

can you explain to me what the two plumbed pipes are for there? looks like ones a return... the other has a cap on the top so im not sure its purpose

oh, and awesome setup

 

Its a durso, the one that is caped is the one tube that brings the water out of the tank into the sump

 

Thanks bro!

The one pipe on the left is a return, its pointed up and at the surface of water to limit drain back to the fuge and create surface agitation. The one on the left is a stockman style standpipe. Space was limited so i made it a compact style by dremeling out the cap at the bottom. I chose to do a standpipe so i could easly adjust the water level by adjusting the standpipe height.

 

ah, nice. thats where im at right now in my planning stages, figuring out how to setup that dang overflow, sump, fuge, etc. my friend has a new nano tank, and i just showed them your setup they love the ideas. the gears are spinnin! keep up the great work.

 

sweet set up
what kind of lighting you got going on ?

good to hear, cant wait to see what you come up with.
