xmetal's 75 gallon upgrade (2/22/12)

Since I needed a return pump for my frag tank, I decided to just upgrade the return pump on the 75 and move the tunze silince 1073.020 over to the frag tank. After seeing that the return was not 3/4" as stated on marinedepot, but 5/8" I purchased some tubing and plumbed it in. I can't wait for the pump to break in. It is already very quiet, but still has some lubricating to go through.

The water movement through the sump is awesome. My skimmer is pulling out more gunk already since more dirty water is moving to the sump faster.

 

Congrats, very nice upgrade

 

I forget to say what pump I got lol. It is an Eheim 1262. At the head pressure of 5ft it is pumping out 5gph less than my old tunze at 0ft of head pressure.

Thank you. Skimmate production has gone way up. In 2 houts I have about 6oz of black skimmate.

 

That is good

 

I want pics of the whole tank, not just of the fish.

Also, eff that I wanna see it in person. When you got some free time yo?

 

Remember remember the 5th of November as the day I had to tear the tank apart to catch a flame angel that started to attack my welso and trachy brains.

I am not a happy camper right now as I couldn't get my rock back how I had it before. Not even close. Fortunately, I came up with something that looks good.

 

Sorry to hear about the Flame Angel. Hope everything works out.

 

That is frustrating. But at least tonight you can sleeping knowing your lps are once again safe.

 

Sorry to hear about the flame angel. Argh, can be so frustrating! I had the same thing happen with a tailspot blenny.

You will learn to like the rock again - you're just irritated right now. I'm sure it looks beautiful!

 

Happy Guy Fawkes day! ;D

Hope everything works out for ya. K+
