Reef Spotlight - October 2010 - "Dez"

I was curious to see how you make water changes so fast...You do have some nice looking corals...

 

[Dez]

I basically valve off my 75 gallon tank above the frag tank which runs through the system 24/7, I drain it (only 40 gallons of it). Then I turn a valve from the 40 gallon drum (mixing bin) with freshly mixed salt water and wait for it to fill the 40 gallons that I just drained. Viola, water change is done - turn a valve to run that tank back into the system. Everything is hard plumbed already so it's very simple.

Can you post a picture of your false diy wave box? I'm looking at a new tank with dual waveboxes. Also, what is the dimension of the wave box?

Hello, here is the picture. The left side is the wavebox - it is a simple box, and there is a hole on the tank itself to fit the pump. I believe the dimensions were 4 x 4 x 12" (the same as the Tunze wavebox as I just took a Tunze wavebox apart and used the insides)

Here is a picture of it on the tank and the hole for the pump
