Hey Carlo.. Instead of keeping my pvc creation on all of the time, would you think it would be better for it to turn on once an hour for 5 minutes just to prevent the water from becoming stagnant at the bottom? I am buying an aquacontroller in the group buy and would be possible to cycle it...
I had a similar problem. may not be feasable in your situation. My main pump caused a ton of vibration throughout all of the pvc. I needed to cut out a 1" section and reattatch them with one of the rubber pipe adapters from HD. This absorbed most of it and didnt alow it to travel through the...
Well the plumbing under the tank in not much more than what is in the tank pic. My idea was to have 30%-50% of the tank overflow to flow into that fuge, mainly for using up unused food in the tank to feed pods, frags, or whatever, then overflow to the pump directly back to the tank. The...
Its a mag 12 on top. I dont know exactly where I'm going with this project.. If nitrate reduction is a side effect then great. I was going to start to load this with live rock and see what happens. One section of it was going to be a frag area at least. As far as nitrate reduction I put this...
Its 3/4 pvc plus the live rock will be packed in there. I have a female threaded end on the pvc so I can twist the pump off if I needed. Its a little more sturdier that a 3/4 union IMO
My stand that holds my 210 is basically held by 3- 1x3's in the back 1 1x3 in the front and the plywood on the sides I would guess to be 1/2". I was so nervous by this before putting the tank on that I screwed it to the wall, like kitchen cabinets.
I was looking to buy one through the group buy to save a few bux. From experience, I looked for good deals and then a year later I bought a better one (skimmers etc..) So I ended up with a POS and a good one. Lost money in the end. I guess I have to 2 part a little while longer to save up the...
PVC gives you a true diamater throughout the run. Hoses and tubes tend to lose it around bends. Spa/Pool tubing maintains the diameter but has rigdes all along it and IMO restrains the water velocity.
