spspirates 150 gallon build

[weaponsofmassdesign]

I finally found what I needed on another site and one pic of the piece like you posted was all I could find. Mine are white though. Mine is definitely silent. Standing next to the tank I can't hear a thing.

 

[spspirate]

Awesome! Do you have a build thread I'd like to check it out!?

 

[weaponsofmassdesign]

Not for this tank I don't. Plan to start a new thread soon for all my tanks and more coral pics. I've got an old thread that you've commented in before.

Did you purchase a Reef Savvy or just the Ghost Overflow?

 

[weaponsofmassdesign]

Yep straight from Reef Savvy.

 

[weaponsofmassdesign]

Oh no sorry not a tank just the overflow.

 

[spspirate]

Awesome!! Here is a pretty cool article I'm reading from Bean Animal.com to better understand the fluid dynamics of how this type of overflow works and what makes it a great choice. http://www.beananimal.com/projects/silent-and-fail-safe-aquarium-overflow-system.aspx

Intermission photos. These are two pics I took from my old reef of the Jason Fox Crazy Fox and The GOW chalice.

I'll be running a Deltec APF800 for the initial start of the reef. Plans are to get the ATB 1050 in the near future.

Thanks man! It's a sweet look and a solid skimmer. I'm glad I was able to score it from a local reefer.

That skimmer looks great in that sump! Looks tiny in there too. Your getting ever so close to filling this beast! Need to get some free time and come check it out.
