    Drilled hole,s

    The overflow idea originally came from Anthony Calfo I believe. When I drilled my 65 I just had my neighbor keep the diamond drill flooded with a garden hose. There is a bit of noise with the water and I have thought about installing Durso style standpipes on the back of the bulkheads to try...

    That didn't work the way I wanted. I will work on the picture.

    I drew up the back panel in AutoCad but I can't figure out how to save it as a picture and post it here. Let me see if I can explain it. Top row of 3/4" bulkheads down 8" from the top of tank evenly spaced 9.6" apart. Bottom row down 18". 3- 1.5" bulkheads spaced between those two rows at...

    My pump is an AMP Master 7500. The flow is 7500gph with 2" in/out and 6500gph with 1.5" in/out. You can use it either way. It's coming with their 8 way manifold which is 1.5" in to 8 - 3/4" outputs. I am not sure whether I will use their manifold or not but it would sure make it simple. If I...

    Thanks. That is what I was thinking also as most of the threads I have read, folks are using 3000gph pumps with 2 1.5's so I thought I should go more than that. You guys have been a lot of help. Now I am looking at hole placement so I can start drilling holes. I am thinking of 4 - 3/4" at...

    Yes. That is what I mean.

    Hey Krish. Isn't even 2 - 1.5" drains a bit lacking for 6500GPH on this CL or am I looking at overkill as I usually do? Maybe go 3 drains?

    Great job! You won't be sorry you went that way.

    Over Flow Box

    Here are a couple of pics of my 65 gallon tank that I drilled and installed a glass overflow box across the length of the tank and then foamed the back wall below the overflow. If I had it to do again I might have foamed the oflow also. I am running this system on a Sedra 9000 pump with 2 1"...

    Here is another issue on this setup. I have a 70 gallon acrylic sump also. Right now it is drilled for a 1.5" bulkhead for a return pump. The overflows each have 1.5" Durso's installed. I think that these should do 1300 gallons each. Do you think I should just run 1 return pump or should I...

    Over Flow Box

    Can't get you pics at this moment but on my 65 gal I ran internal all the way across the glass. I drilled for 2 1" bulkheads for drains then glued 2 pieces of glass, one 4" wide the other 5" wide onto the back pane of the tank. Most important to get it level. I cut a couple of boards for...

    Here we go! 336 gal acrylic tank with CL-Suggestions Plse

    That should be doable but it may still be a while. With the work situation I can only do a little at a time. I am still trying to scrounge some leftover wood from someone elses projects to build a stand and canopy. I have most all of the equipment and plenty of Kolorscape (Southdown) Sand...

    Thanks for all the info as that is what I needed along with a little reassurance with what I am doing. I will have 6 -3/4 as I already have 2 here and I also have 4 1" in the house (2 of mine and 2 belong to a friend). Now to find some larger ones for suction. Thanks again, Les

    I am probably going to use 3/4" bulkheads. I just bought 4 on ebay for 15 bucks including shipping. I couldn't pass up that pump. Traded a dual MH retro for it plus it comes with the 8 way manifold and true unions. It should be just the right size for this tank. What do you think about the...

    Things are starting to slowly come together. I have a 336 gallon acryllic tank measuring 72"x36"x30"deep. 10" wide overflows in the rear corners. I am planning on a plenum/DSB to bring the bottom up 5" or so to make it easier to reach the bottom of the tank. Now for the CL system. I have...

    I really like the color on mine. I do not have any actinics in that tank and it really look good.

    I got a nice Hanna from Premium Aquatics. I think it was 20 bucks.
