Tank Entry

  1. My new sump is under construction

    I'm about to fly out to Boston to speak to the club there tomorrow, but wanted to give you a quick update. All pictures are from my iPhone.

    Got more plumbing parts in at last.




    I started on my new sump. It is 58" x 31.5" x 17" and made with 3/8" AcryLite GP.

  2. Last update for a while

    I just have a small update that I forgot to post on reefaddicts. The project is on hold for now until my wife and I decide if we are going to move again. I found out on New Year’s Eve that I am going to be a father so the tank is taking the backseat for now.

  5. Testing 40 extra long

    So I am in the beginning stages of starting my next system. I have always been intrigued by trying to simulate a more natural water flow and now I will start testing a different size tank. I got some free glass and made a quick mock up system to see what I might want in the final design.

    I have searched online to try to find similar sizes with vortechs running and could not really come up with much so I had to make my own.

    The main power will come from a MP10es, which ...
