Re: New tank set-up Please check back for questions I have?
Skimmer test/break-in, keep in mind it's not dialed in, it's going to be raised 6 inches, and placement will be different. Look at all those microbubbles :o
I tore my hose for my return pulling my return pump when I went to set it in the new one I can get away from skimming for about 48 hours without doing a water change right? I already moved my heater to the main display, and when moving everything into the new tank I'll be making fresh water anyways.

I have a very unhappy wife at home, I'm 3 weeks behind schedule, living room is a mess, and somehow $900 over budget(according to her) :o ;D
Re: New tank set-up Please check back for questions I have?
I've also decided to place a check valve where the ball valve is now. Move the ball valve lower as I have drainage pipe running perpendicular at almost the same height as the ball valve.
Got to run back out to Lowes in the...

I'm actually waiting on a skimmer stand, it will be placed 90 degrees from the current position.
Re: Bulkhead placement
Using this configuration and a Mag 9 return,
RC gave me this for head loss
Total losses are 7.55 feet of head pressure, or 3.26 PSI. with a flow rate of 607 GPH.
Is it acceptable ???

I'm moving into a custom 5 long 92
The stand is a custom Concept 4.125 ;) many of you saw my new custom RichTCheesy sump at Bill's meeting this past month. I will be receiving a new MR-1 skimmer powered with a Gen-x Mak 4...
I replaced both my PCs(2 24W)and halides both of which were 8-10 months old, my colors seem to be popping more. The color of the halides is not as blue as the Phoenix but it could take a week before their true color comes out ???
I'm using 250W Hqi and have only used Ushio and Phoenix bulbs. I found the Ushio 10ks are a bit yellow for my taste, the Phoenix 14k have great color but stunt the growth of my corals and I just replaced the Phoenix with 14k Ushios this morning so will have to update you later as the halides...
