You are really progressing.
Taking it slow but...
Progressing.
Nice work!
Really nice build so far. How did you mount the face/false wall in your apex cabinet? I saw you used an ikea cabinet but not sure how you did the interior you mounted face (with the grommets) into the cabinet in a manner to still be able to access the cords, etc. Thanks.Setting up of APEX and Dr Tim gotta wait till Monday! Till then...
Thanks FFTFK! I assembled the IKEA EKET table-sawed to the required depth, capped the cut edge with PVC corner strips. Then I recessed the unused door of the cabinet onto the back of the cabinet, and bored holes for the grommets that will give you the exact thickness of the NEAT AQUATICS GROMMETS. But the EKET boards are fragile, make sure your saw and cutters are sharp, I actually did cause some hairline cracks by just inserting the grommets. To access the wires, just lift the cabinet from its position, but wouldn’t be doing that often onceReally nice build so far. How did you mount the face/false wall in your apex cabinet?

750LPH thru from COR20 > DD UV 80W > TECO 500 > 1” Flow Sensor > DT. Slow enough to contain protozoa twice over. Cheers!Good progress!
What flow rate are you getting through your UV?
That's pretty slow flow.Slow enough to contain protozoa twice over. Cheers!
Hmm... didn’t think of it that way. Yes my flow is half that of the recommended protozoa kill rate. Maybe I can drop DD/DELTEC a line to ask. From my Temp probe readings, my chiller is keeping my tank equally cool regardless whether my UV is on or off.That's pretty slow flow.
Are you under the recommend minimum flow for your UV?
If you are shooting to sterilize protozoa, too slow of a flow will allow them to reproduce faster than the UV can sterilize them.
