Nice system.


I see that this system is using the Alta AL-40 pump.
I thought you mentioned you were going to a smaller pump?

We are Marty, as I mentioned to you, the new Alita rating put this pump at over 55LPM, and we are now going with the 25M which puts out 40LPM. In this case the person is going to be running the pump at some distance away from the sump, so we opted with the bigger.

how much is just the tank?
The tank is a 48 x 36 by 20 high rimless 1/2 starfire, drilled for both close loop and dual drains. We dont really put our custom tank prices out Conrad but lets say its in the couple thousand zone.

what is the extra bulkhead that is capped on the skimmer?
Man Ich nothing gets passed ya!! The sump was a last second reverse in configuration, so I only had two skimmers left and had to drill it twice in order to get it lined up.


Earl cant believe you carried that tank by yourself!!
