My Dream Tank - 650 Gallons!

Bump

On first glance from the video it looks like the eductors on the right side are causing so much surface agitation that it's sucking in air and causing bubbles to form from this (if that makes sense).

Edit: I see you did say you've had them the entire time, do you have the ability to get a video of the sump/plumbing leading to the tank. It may help envision what is happening.

Just wanted to post some update livestock shots! Annularis and Orange spotter rabbit in QT at the moment. Need to install UV still and DE filter over next week.

Your setup looks absolutely gorgeous, and my absolute fav a queen angel! So jealous. One question though: short of diving in, how do you keep the dang thing clean?!??

I'm working on building out a large, deep tank as well, but not exactly sure how I'll manage the cleaning aspect of it short of donning a snorkel mask... what's your secret?

I know for me, i'd be doomed without the Mighty Magnet glass cleaner and a 36" siphon tube.

Also use a might magnet which is hands down the best magnet I have ever used. I also use a long siphon tube for sand and sponge head mop to clean side that I cannot with the magnet cleaner.

What glass thickness will that work on? I don't have a quote yet, but I'm assuming for the dimensions I'm going for will require 1" thick glass.

Alright, Mighty Magnet it is!!! Thanks a bunch! I'm sure I'll have more questions down the road, thanks for the helpful response!

There are different models for different thicknesses.

Mighty Magnet Inc. – Clearly the best

They have magnets that can work up to insane 4” thickness. Mine I believe either works to 1 1/4 or 1 1/2”. I have 1” thick acrylic.

What was the fix for the micro bubbles?

 

[Feet4Fish]

I had to change the plumbing on the outflow to sweeping 90s. These allowed for much smoother higher velocity flow.

HELP! Micro BUBBLES are Driving me Insane!

COULD USE SOME HELP WITH MICROBUBBLES So since the beginning of my tank in March I have had a boatload of micro bubbles in the big display and it is driving me nuts. I have attached a video. The come right out of the return line. Interestingly the don’t come out of the return line on my...

Picked up a set of MagSleeves today and threw them on the Mighty Magnet. Love them! Thing grinds so smooth now even for a super strong magnet! Also got both the wet and dry side for around $25 which is also nice!

This is my makeshift fish transport tank! Worked great yesterday!!!

 

[Feet4Fish]

So back on February 10th I ordered three fish from Marine Collectors. Well due to COVID and Delta Cargo’s embargo on animal transport my fish remain in Los Angeles ..... I got some update pictures today and they are being very well provided for!

Due to space constraints in my ridiculously small dungeon of a basement I decided to go a different route than my DIY algae scrubber. It ran awesome but just to dang hard to work around.
So I went the route of a Santa Monica Surf 8x! Liked the fact it took up no space in my basement as it floats in my sump. Have had it running for 6 days now and getting some green action!
