Panta rhei hydrotube

[Rcs_12]

Anyone used a panta rhei hydro tube to run a closed loop? I have two of them being delivered next month and was curious if anyone had any experience with them.

Any chance we'll see some details on your build?

 

[Rcs_12]

Yes I'm planning on starting a build thread once the tank gets installed in a few weeks

96x30x30 with 2 panta rhei hyrdrotubes for closed loops and a full MRC life support system in a basement fishroom.

Curious to hear how the hydros work as well.

Going to be an awesome build!

Going through my own build of 96x24x24 ,

--> Few things i am doing - Area behind the aquarium painted with SPA rated paint (moisture proof).

Are you relying on closed loop for primary flow ? I will be using Pantarhei ECM 63 for flow internally.

I'm doing black frp paneling on the wall behind the tank.

Yes the goal is to use the hydrotubes in the closed loop as the primary flow but I'll stick a hydro wizard or two in if I need to

Any update? Very keen to see the progress on how these perform.

 

[Rcs_12]

The tank was installed last week. I only had a small amount of time to play with them before i had to go out of town. The pumps move a ton of water and are dead silent even at 100%. I'm waiting on a second programming cable so I can get the two of them to work together. I'm going to start a build thread soon and will post more details in there.

Looks super clean. are those the 63? Anyway to share a video of it moving water?
considering these for a thousand gal system.

 

[Rcs_12]

No these are the 42s. I can send you a video on whatsapp if you would like. Send me a pm with your contact info.

Looks absolutely mint! Cannot wait to see the build thread

Bump! Would love an update on this one -- how's the build coming along?

 

[Oldcabin]

Apologies, I found your build thread -- going to read through it now!
