*updates*

Just a few updates:

Got all the plumbing/pumps worked out with Roger, so all that should be here soon. Rock should be here sometime this week (I think). So I am getting pretty close now. The part came in for my table saw, but I never got around to working on the stand this weekend. Thought I had stayed out too late Friday night, but come Sunday morning I was full blown sick, so I'm going to wait till I feel better to get out into the cold garage to work on that. After the stand is done, all I will need to do is get the overflows squared away one way or another, get the sand, and I will be ready to start cycling :thumb_up:

 

no excuse!! real men don't get sick!!

 

I know I know. Its all throat though, I can hardly talk right now. I would rather have full blown flu than this throat thing. If I am feeling any better soon, I'm going to try to work on the stand little by little after work during the week.

 

haha rest up dude...the tank will still be there tomorrow!

 

Just thought I would bump this thread for ya.. It needs a little help.

 

Now, when you say "got all the plumbing solved"...what did you decide on for water movement and such? Maybe I missed a rather large memo in this thread somewhere...

Closed loop? Powerheads? Drilled? HOB Overflows?

Keep us posted, sicky.

 

Return pumps and routing. I will be running dual Little Giant 4-MDQX's for the returns. Teed off of those will be my manifold for dual reactors (one for carbon, one for rowasphos), and a AAT coil denitrator. The skimmer will also be driven off of the return pumps. Using the two larger pumps to drive everything will drastically cut down on heat within the tank and the electric bill

 

sounds like you got it all planned out



(you havent even put water in and you have 23 pages ^.^ more of a disscussion on a tank than a build thread )

 

So are you just Hang On Back overflowing this puppy or what? How does the water get from the tank to all those pumps and gizmos you were talking about
