Plumbing

Well i got my skimmer in and I will octopus skimmer seems well built, it is a hurricone cat2e. The paper work that comes with the skimmer is extremely poor doesnt give you common application for install, gph feed rates. Well anyhow my question is about the output at 10in doesnt give much leeway for install and at 27in high i cant really put it on a stand. Can this output be raised with out messing up the operation of the skimmer. I havent build my sump or the plumbing done so i can make thing however ...

Not much progress on the 150 build due to some changes in my life recently. But here's some updates.

First, here's a shot of the brace in the center of the tank. I can't seem to eliminate the cloudyness, I'm even tried polishing it out with Flitz with no effect. It's about 2' wide so I'm always going to have a lower light area in the center of this tank.


I ordered a pair of overflow kits from ...

I just started phase 1 of our water test. The plan is to fill the tank over the course of a few days, and then let it sit for one week. Then next weekend, provided there are no leaks, we'll train it, and then start working on putting up the walls and completing the fishroom.

I have complete faith in our builders and don't expect any leaks at all.

Picked up a 55gal out of the local trade paper for the rock and substrate out of it for 100 bucks so i thought why not drill it and set up a cycle tank while im working on the 180. I got 2 over flow boxes off ebay for 45 dollars each that came with the cup saws for glass they were said to be 1200gph each but when i got them I didnt feel they would carry the 180 so why not drop them in this 55gal

The last time that I updated Reef Addict on the breeding there were just shelves with no tanks/sump or fish. A little over three months later it is now operational with tanks, a complete sump, and all the fish moved from the prior system. Here is how it all took place.
