John Jhildebrand Look Here

[Fishcrazy06]

Out of spite I am posting here instead...What size pump you looking for? I may have a couple of little giant pumps.

LOL, you got my attention anyway....!

Need something to move enough water to mix salt quickly on a 210g container. It'll be used just for that and plumbed to the mixing tank. My spare eheim is too small, so i'm looking at alternatives if the price is right.

You still need a hand with plumbing?

internal or external?

 

[Fishcrazy06]

Yeah I still need a hand with the plumbing. Let me guess your thinking a trade off of some kind? LOL...

Eric

 

[Jhildebrand]

External.

My help is always free, ask Shannon

I got a mak5 that's sitting around right now...

What size pump you looking for? Anyone kind in particular? I kind of know how you do your research and so forth so I am thinking you have a pump in mind.

Eric

 

[Jhildebrand]

Nope, nothing in mind. It's basically going to be something like this (image from coralfragger101). There's about six feet of head and it'll only be on when mixing salt. I want to be able to throw a whole 200 gallon bucket of salt in and turn the pump on and have nicely mixed salt soon after. The opening on the 210 gal container is small, so hand mixing and powerheads with four foot cords are out. Going to uniseal and plumb the pump.

 

[Jhildebrand]

Wait I do have something in mind - cheap! :wink:

 

[MSU Fan]

mak5 - $75.

Where you getting your uniseals from John? This is looking kind of what I am thinking of doing just not a coninuous like yours. Where did you end up getting the Storage tank from?

This place has great prices on Uniseals.
UNISEAL A.G.S.INC. Ohio--Worldwide Distributor

I put them on a 65 gal plastic drum which has the grooved sides and they work perfect.

 

[Jhildebrand]

Thanks for the link. I usually get uniseals from Bulk Reef Supply, but they don't have the sizes I need. Tank came from National Tank Outlet and manufactured by Norwesco. It was a pain and the customer service blew. It probably had a lot to do with it being a small one-time order. It was frustrating, but it's here now and I like the tank. I had to crawl inside to scrub red algae off the tank walls and bottom. PIA...

 

[Fishcrazy06]

John if your doing a uniseal order let me know I may need a couple as well.

Eric

 

[Jhildebrand]

I will be - that link has all sizes and cheap too! Let me know what you need and I'll order in the next couple of days. Thanks again Paul PSU.

I need four of them just need to figure out what size I want. Right now I run a 3/4" bulkhead with a valve
