Between that closed loop and HUGE return pump, I am thinking you have the FLOW covered!

What are you planning for a canopy/light fixture?

Ron S. · May 22, 2009

Thanks Mike. I hope with 3 Dart pumps and would like to add a wavebox, that flow will be good enough. For now I plan on using NO T-5's that i have. If needed I have some VHO's and 400's that could be added. What every i use will be mounted to a open frame type rack. there will be a wall enclosing the tank in the future.

Well I was able to get the light together today and temporarily set them on the tank. I moved some temporary occupents into the tank so I could take down another tank.

Poor guy looks lonely! When do the friends arrive?

Ron S. · May 27, 2009

He has two clown fish friends from his other tank, They are still hiding at the moment.

Do you have all the DArts moving Ron? The fish don't appear to be pressed up against the front glass..... It must not be to much then!

What do you have going on for lights there? (Color of the bulbs)

FateX8 · May 27, 2009

wow, clean looking plumbing
awesome job

Ron S. · May 27, 2009

Thanks everyone.

Mike, yes all 3-darts are running. I think with 12 outlets the flow is well spread thru out the tank. As for bulbs there is a mixture at the moment, Used what I had. The bulbs are all old so I plan to replace them soon. I ended up with 6-T5's and 4-VHO's.

Ron S. · May 27, 2009

By the way I installed the reflectors on the T-5's before setting the light on the tank.

Wow, that is really nice plumbing job! Are you planning to enclose the whole area around the tank to keep the fish room sealed off from view?

Ron S. · May 28, 2009

Thank you, yes the plan is to reface the stand and enclose the area with a wall. There will be a door to the left of the tank to access the room.
