    Closed loop pump for 29 gal.

    i get about 66x turnover with the two combined. Is that too much flow? Thanks for all the help

    Closed loop pump for 29 gal.

    With a blueline 40x, after dividing it into 4 outputs, i will get ~288 gph. What matters is the turnover right? I will get 1153gph out of the blueline so that alone gives me ~39x turnover plus my mag 9.5 which gives like 20x turnover.

    Closed loop pump for 29 gal.

    Ok, then ill use a blueline 40x, my water is hot enought already. I dont want to use an Iwaki because i heard they were loud and they are too expensive for me.

    Closed loop pump for 29 gal.

    What about a velocity T4? That would be like the blueline 40x. That would give me 40 times turnover right? Thanks.

    Closed loop pump for 29 gal.

    Hi, im setting up a 29 gal tank and i want to keep mostly-all SPS. I will have 4 outputs. I was thinking about using a sequence reeflo dart. It seems like overkill, but i went on reef central, and i used the head loss calculator. I used the sequence 3600seq12 because it had the same gph as the...

    plumbing question?

    with that much flow, most of the outputs on top and 2 in the middle, do you think a really shallow sand bed, like 1" will be ok? or will it be blown to the sides or something?

    Starboard = cuttingboard?

    Hi, im not sure if this is in the right forum...but..Is starboard the same thing as cuttingboard? I found this http://thecuttingboardfactory.com/M...tegory_Code=3WS perfect size for my 29 gallon. will it work for barebottom? Thanks

    plumbing question?

    Nvm i found some @ thecuttingboardfactory.com 12x30", Perfect! Its 25.05, is that a good price? Its the workhorse series. Is it the same thing as starboard?

    plumbing question?

    Yeah that was what i was thinking... Where could i get starboard? If it is too expensive (im already spending more than i want too :\) then i was thinking about just going with a very shalow bottom, or putting a white poster board underneath to get BB and still have a white bottom.

    plumbing question?

    Ok cool. If i went with a fuge, how could i drain my sump into the fuge and then keep the sand in the fuge from going into the mag? I would drill my sump, but its a glass tank.

    plumbing question?

    Could i go with a sequence reeflo dart, and put 4 outputs? On RC, i did a headloss calculator using the Sequence3600Seq12. Is that around the same gph as the dart? i got 2412 gph, and then if i divided that by 4, i would get ~603 gph out of each output. I would have the extra 2 outputs go over...

    plumbing question?

    Yeah, i like sand because it looks natural. Already in my old tank it was moving around too much. My sump is only a 10 gallon right now, but i plan to make a fuge out of some sterlite tubs that i have. Could i put a baffle in there so i can put my mag in there too? I want my skimmer before the...

    plumbing question?

    Thanks for the welcome :) Yes, i have 2 returns on the top. My return is a mag 9.5. with this much flow, do you think my sand bed will get blown up? I have about 30 pounds of sand from my old tank, and i dont want it to go to waste. But, if it will get blown around, i think ill go barebottom.

    plumbing question?

    plumbing question?

    I dont have anything yet. I ordered my tank and its going to come in 3 weeks. I have 2 1.5" outputs for a closed loop and one 1.5" drain for the closed loop. I went with 1.5" for more flow.What do you mean 3 3/4" lines? I was going to use a blueline 40hd-x or a Velocity T4. Thanks
