Acrylic Frag Cage Build

[Peppie]

Update for flow.
Here are the powerheads I chose for the flow in the tank.

There will be 3 of these @ 300gph, =900gph+ 700gph(mag 7) +550 korlia =1150 gph RANDOM flow
This is the attachment for the powerhead. It rotates 360deg

Wouldnt be a PEPPIE build with out some woodwork. This will keep the light out of the filter section, and some what hide the filters.

A couple of pics of life in the tank

Thanks all for looking, It has been a great small project, that is working great.

What to build next???.........

I would be willing to SELL my blood, but DONATING wouldnt put $ in my tank fund. LOL

As for carpooling, I'll pass, I have heard how you drive!!!

Kev you should donate your blood to a local brewery!! I swear they could distill a few gallons, lol

I like the cover nice detail You are setting the bar high for us DIYer's........ i thought it would be mojo setting the pace but i think he's on vacation. lol just kidding mo...jo

 

[Peppie]

Thanks Spinner,
The cover was more of a necessity than anything else. I did get outside MY BOX on it. I PAINTED WOOD!!!! LOL

Trust me when I say That Mojo has been very very busy of late. His Do-Dad is so sweet. Once he gets it polished up I am sure he will give us all a peek.

I hear you, i have heard of mojo long before i joined RF i just got lucky that all you guy's are here. I would get bored very fast with only a tank to look at..... behind the scenes kinda reefer

How would you describe the flow and type of current/flow you are getting with the Do...Dad

There are some pretty sharp minds here at RF that dabble in the DIY. A couple of them have not been on in a while, their talent and ideas are a step above.

The flow out of the spinner is better if it spins slow. like 30rpm. If it is to fast the flow doesnt go very far into the tank. With one tip pointed 90 deg to the bottom and the other two one pointed at 11 o'clock and the other at 5 o'clock. It will cover the entire depth of the tank. Great for surface agitation (11 o'clock ) and keeping the bottom semi clear of crud ( 5 o'clock )

I am going to mod the other a bit and give it a shot. I will make the holes much larger and see if I can slow it down to 15 rpm.

Yea I have been pretty slack with posting on RF over the last month or so, so sorry about that. Got a little project I am putting together that I think most reefers will find interesting, but still have some work to finish on it.

We will cut you some slack, just cause you have furnished us with this awesome site.
Any more slack time here on the board will result in a Pictures or Bull****

The only problem I have seen of Mojos Do-Dad is that I dont have one yet!!! What is up with that?/ I would love to do some long, long, long term testing for ya. LOL
Maybe we could work a deal. Need any painting done at your place???

I am positive if he is compensated properly you could test it for as long as you need to.

I tried cutting a deal with him months ago concerning this Do-Dad. It was just like getting him to post a current picture of his tank. IMPOSSIBLE!!!
