Ooof you've been called out @Mattres hahaha

Haha yup! I have been slack..
On a holiday in Tassie atm so I’ve got some time to catch up on all your guys tanks to!

I remembered my Elos system. Pricey but worth every penny. They exemplify quality all the way and how easily the tank and sump came together through the stand was just a blessing

Sorry for the late reply mate, here’s one I took yesterday.


The tanks been traveling along okay, It hasn’t been at the top of my priorities for a little while but with some love I think it can be in a great place soon enough!

Still looking real nice even with the lack of love

Matt's tank always looks good. Even when he tells us it won't

Haha nice! I have the same tank. Still trying to find a way to quiet my overflow. I have it dialed down pretty low but wanted to open it up.

How is your plumbing set up? It took me a while to dial it in but having a gate valve on the drain seems to be the trick bc of the 1 1/4" drain being so massive.

 

[Empire]

Don’t mind the wires - still a work in progress. I tried to soft plumb everything as Elos recommends. My sump won’t allow me to get a 1.25” ball valve in the actual sump. Where is your gate valve?

 

[Spanky05]

This was my original setup that worked fine.

I ended up changing to hard plumbing and don't have a current picture but the gate valve is in the same location.

Feel free to ask any questions!

Thanks bud!

Like Spanky mentioned a ball or gate valve somewhere on the drain below the tank can help a lot.
I actually removed the valve i had on my drain a few months ago just to check for cleaning and found the drain didn't become loud at all. So given enough time i think the drian slimes up and becomes much quieter.

Couple pics to end the week!

Gorgeous shots mate!!

I can't believe we have been waiting for months to see this tank and it really happened.... it still exists.
It was one of the reasons I kept hanging around here.
LOL

Looks good Matt, I hope you find some time for some TLC and get it back on track.
