I think you guys are gonna really like the tanks!
When your tanks get in, wrap some teflon plumbers tape around the internal pipes of the EXT. During my leak test, I learned that the internal pipes are slightly too small for my bulkheads and had a slow leak (see below)
I ran a simulated power outage test with the small leak and boy was it a close call. The water level in the sump got real close to the top.
After I wrapped some teflon tape around the adapter/pipes, the leak stopped completely.
Got things transfered over today as well!
I'll start a build thread after I clean the room up, lol.
A power outage is my biggest fear and I really need to do some research as I've been out of the game for 15 years and back then I remember wet/dry filters backing up/reverse siphoning when an outage would occur. So what measures have you taken in case of a power outage or am I an idiot and missed your point in your test? Also, I assume you guys have purchased your skimmers already, but I ran into this one last night and couldn't help but snag it up (Reef Octopus 130 Essence) on Saltwater.com.
