Otty's 265 (w/3 sided View)

When I was in country we used t call'em FNG's LOL always could tell them from the rest as they only talked to each other LOL The oder Grunts satyed far away ..

 

Now I know who you are! LOL you like the bulbs ? never said they did not get hot ..

 

Tangster, the bulbs are great! A little HOT but hey I've never known the sun to be cold. I've never seen my coral grow like it has since I switched to these bulbs. My LPS' darkened up and my SPS' are growing like weeds!

Oh, and I don't need to heat the basement now!

 

How about a pic update?

 

Let's give poor Otty a break. He was up until 1 am figuring out new and creative ways to flood his basement! ;D

 

Yep, two model 4 series Little Giant pumps will overpower 2-1 1/4" Durso Standpipes...:-/
Always trying to push the limits....;D

 

I told you they move some volume Try enlarging the hole in the cap or just remove the cap Or you could slow the pumps up a tad LOL
Also did you put strainers on the tee throats ? sometimes snails and or fish will get in the pipes..

 

Wow Otty
As soon as I can afford it, I'm going to order you some stuff from a guy off N-R.com. He's got some of the nicest SPS

ACRO! Will ship from 15632 - Nano-Reef.com Forums

- then I'll have to see your tank
Do you like LPS as well (acans, blastos etc?) or just the SPS ?

 

Plugs and racks look nasty to me and the corals ar nothing special really Unless the ones he ships look cleaner I'd pass on that site..

 

I could get it to work if I plugged the hole on the standpipe and pulled a straight syphon but that doesn't restart good after a power outage. I hooked one pump up to just supply water back to the tank from the sump and the other pump runs a 6 outlet manifold that I run the Ca reactor, fluidize sand filter, carbon reactor, phophate reator, skimmer and bio tower that I am about to finish. All of that just about eats up the gph the pump puts out, this way I won't have any motors in the water everything will be external.

I have been trying to just keep SPS. When ever you are going to be in the area let me know and I'll give you directions. We are having a meeting / cookout saturday night and you are more then welcome to come, just let me know so I can lay enough meat out to thaw.
