Thanks Phyl...I will change directions here. I am already getting plenty of slurping, although I got a couple of helpful tips from Jim Roth when he came by. Now I just have to focus in on a pump that will deliver about 800-900 up to the pump and let it reduce to 600 or 700

I am having serious second thoughts about the Eheim. I have a Scwd II on my tank and think that the drop to 600gph might be too low for this wavewaker as it cuts flow some. I do have room to plumb the return outside the sump and since this pump cost around $120, I could get a panworld or...

Thanks Guys! I will probably order the Eheim, as it seems to be the next step up. STCreef - good info. about the head loss. I am looking at that carefully. My tank will require mostly moderate flow, but otherwise this would have been a concern. On paper, it looks like the Mag9.5 has better...

Oops... that's what I get for posting in the wee hours of the morning! Here is the pump I am leaning towards. Normally this would be out of my budget for the month, but since the group is going on will spend up to $125. Let me know your thoughts! Note that heat is not too much of a concern...

Hi everyone- I am finally going to make a break away from Magdrive pumps. I have been running at Mag9.5 on a 75 gall with a 35 gall sump. (4 feet of head) I am leaning towards this model below, primarily by the write up on prem aquatics site. This pump is 30-40 dollars more then I would like to...

Hey Doug/Erna - Very nice job on enduring what sounds like painstaking work! My patience has been tested to the max. lately as well with bulkhead leaks on my new sump. There have been recent evenings where I said I really don't know how much more I can endure. I've been skimmerless too long. My...

Thanks guys, it helps. I've been running out of patience on this as of late. John, you nailed it on the head, this is annoying! My plan is to try to cut off the bulkhead and see if i can thread a 1.25" right to it. If worse comes to worse, I can feed a 1" pipe through if I can't catch the...

I checked and unfortunately did not have any contact info. file. This is a bummer as I can see us going back to Bermuda someday. You can find very easy snorkling opportunities with impressive wildlife if you do some research. Good luck and if you go I think you won't regret it, especially if you...

Patriot 76 - Let me see what I can find. I think I made a paper folder of the info. and their contat info. The place was nice and very clean. We are of the mentality that such a small amount of time is spent in the accommodations, that we were just happy to experience the island and the...

While I am 98% done with plumbing in a new sump, skimmer and kalk reactor, I hit a snag that is giving me serious heartburn! I am running a 1.25 drain line to my fish room and finally got the right size bulkhead. It appears most people must run 1" pipe inside the bulkhead to drain, but this...

Outrageous resort! I went to Bermuda for a week with my wife, although we rented a 'bungalow' that was owned by a private couple. This is a great route if you a looking for a vacation with a lean budget. People often have rental properties that are adjoined to their homes to keep costs down...

As an update, I ended up getting the new 1" model. I am anticipating needing only moderate flow for this tank and the convenience and price is big for me right now. This model certainly is a helluva lot bigger then the 3/4". Now if I can just get my s#@t together and finish this plumbing, I...

Bax - Thanks for hosting the meeting and having me over. I had a good time and it was a great environment to catch up with everyone. If you ever need an extra set of hands on a weekend, let me know. I'm only about 10 minutes away. Bob

Nice work to everyone involved in making this happen!

Super!! I will call Will tomorrow and will confirm with you. (a lot of Will's there!) Just worked a 13 hour day. :o I need to go home and stare at my new Kole tang who has been worked the algse off my rock! Thanks so much Mike....I do beleive this bulkhead is the last peice of the puzzle for...

I was mistaken, Fairfield GC does not have bulkhheads. Therefore, I need to get my hands on one as well. If anyone who is going to the meeting is going by AO, would they be able to pick one up for me? I had one shipped from Prem Aquatics and the damn thing is way too big. Aarrgg. This was...

That certainly doesn't make the 660s desirable for T5s! (good info.) So, are 660's effective on PCs or VHO only? I wouldn't want to lose life on T5's!

I am currently discussing buying this tank. Can anyone with experience working with closed loops give my your opinion on this arrangement? Effective? TIA http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1350208

Wow. Leave him in a friends bed as an April fools joke. I am sure he send a prickly jolt. That's a good reminder to wear gloves moving rock!

Large pond suppliers will have bulkheads as well. In fact, I was thinking about ordering one online an your thread made me realize I saw them at a placd called Fairfield garden center uo north here.
