[Deftronix]

Toxic, your tank and setup is just incredible man! Love the stand and meticulous level of detail in the layout of all your equipment. Keep at it, and best of luck with everything!

[FrankAbagnale]

How's that frag area going!?

 

[ToXIc]

How's that frag area going!?

It's holding a lot. Had to turn the light to 100% because it was soo high. But working fine for now.

 

[ToXIc]

I'm soooo happy I future proofed this build!

Details coming soon!!

 

[gettaReef]

Excited to hear the news (hope it comes with plenty of picrures!) as it seems everything you build is top notch

thanks for the kind words..


so i've been dreading upgrading my distribution pump for a while now for the fear that i have to replumb the most of the manifold.. but had to because the original pump i got was undersized after adding all the various equipment..

after the MTRC swap i got a Reef Octopus hy-10000w to replace the waveline DC-6000

side by side

when i looked at the plumbing i was happy i could just unscrew three unions and take out the entire thing. Was also happy that the main body to the chiller was 1" and not 3/4" like the manifold sections that it split off to. Then all i had to do was measure it up cut and swap out unions..

bolted everything up and it ran perfectly no issues at all.. got more flow over the ATS, dem pellets be tumbling better and tha chiller tho... it be chilling.. lol


the entire process too less than an hour... now taking out the cords and running the new ones that took a while..

All that OCD paid off!

looks good, just curious if you had considered going with a larger wavelike DC pump vs water blaster?
is there any difference in noise? I know the water blasters are known to be silent

i originally wanted to do a water blaster but DC's were getting popular around the "build" time frame so i decided to try it instead.. the DC pump ran great no issues besides the usual of having to clean it to regain flow.

i went with the water blaster to satisfy my original curiosity on how it would run.. if ehiem only make higher flow pumps.. but soo far i'm really liking the pump it is indeed silent.. and the vibration is almost nil.. really happy with it.. still needs some more days running it but i believe the system is running cooler..
