Sad to say it's all being broken down this coming weekend. Completely new setup coming in a few weeks when we move. Some of you guys have incredible setups! Love strolling through and getting ideas.

This is what I got going so far under my tank:

What's holding the reactors in the sump?

Here's pics of my set up. Tank is still cycling so reactor isn't running. It was a tight fit, but I made it work.

So nice to see a plumbing job with white PVC that is not stained with purple primer and ugly bar codes. Nice job! Also, where did you find that neat Y adapter? Did you modify it to fit inside of that larger 4Way fitting? An interesting transition there.

Thanks Fin, I used clear primer/glue and made sure the bar codes were in the back. I wiped off the excess glue as well. I'm OCD like that lol. The Y I got from my lfs, it is a weird fitting, slipped into 1.5 X and bushings for the flex.

The "works" in the making under one of my nano tanks. Not yet ready though.

What kind of skimmer is that?

 

[Fin]

It is a Reef Octopus nano skimmer. Jury is still out on it. I will give it a shot, but I have my reservations on how effective it will be. I ordered it because it was the right size for my old sump, but I decided to overhaul the whole system. Anyway, I may be replacing it soon, if it doesn't work out.

Well done everyone!

gotta wipe off the extra glue, nobody want to see that!

FYI, a little tip for future installs...give your PVC, specifically the barcodes&lettering a wipe with acetone. Removes the lettering/printing and cleans up the PVC real nice!

I bet the new set up is going to be just as nice!

 

[Reefmon]

Wow! What are you dosing?

 

[omar jawad]

Ha Ha. That the number 1 question when people see this post. I'm dosing the full RedSea Reef Care Program. Reef Foundation ABC, NoPox, and Colors ABCD.
