Otty's 265 (w/3 sided View)

Look amazing. I was wondering how you were going to fit a Harley emblem in
LOL

That will look amazing when it is finished.

 

Always have to give credit to the Motor Company...RIDE TO LIVE LIVE TO RIDE...;D Funny you mentioned that, I have been pondering making some home made live rock shaped like the bar and shield logo and set it in the middle of the tank. Will have to experiment on that one....Got any ideals how to show flow?

 

that was the hard part for me. once the water clears up, you have no idea how the water flows till you get corals in there. i thought i had a lot of flow, but after putting some xenia in, it looks im gonna need alot more, lol.

 

I have all the pumps on a switch board so I can shut them off during feeding because the food never sits still and ends up in the OF before the damsel can get it. I will play with some air stones and see what I can get. Starting on the canopy for the MH's and Actinics now.....soon there will be LIGHT!;D

 

OTTY flow will be the least of your problems you have more volume running through the O/M then most have through their whole system. and yours is designed to put the cuurent out at the point of use not from top to bottom or front to back or end to end But also there is lots of ways to adjust it it also. After I set this one here up I had to make one adjustment and its they way it needs to be in the areas it needs to be .. I have a very slow low flow area for the elegance corals as I like them My favorite coral of all time .

 

That's just great Otty! :thumb_up:

My 120g looks like a QT now.......thanks buddy!

 

Jason was wanting to see some pictures of flow and I was pondering a way to get pictures of one without throwing stuff in the tank.
If I am using my Mag-Float to clean the glass and it comes apart, I'm not quick enough to be able to grab it before the current has it sitting at the OF box..;D Boy does it move fast.....That alone shows me there is all kinds of water movement in there.

 

Ya if you have an airstone that might work. But you say the mag flaot flys accross the tank into the OF WOW that a lot of flow.

I would spend some time learning your flow. Just with your hand feel around the tank and watch were detritus builds up. then you will be a ble to make adjustments were needed and learn were to put some corals

Look'n good

 

hey great tank

how long do you reckon till you get fish in there

would love a tank tht big
