jlehigh's 280 Pic Blowout!!

[spongebob lover]

The tank is barely audible. Fish Only tanks are so simple.. The flow is delivered by a 1500gph external powerhead and the return pump on a rotating wavemaker.

that's nice dood because for a moment i thought you liked listening to the water while you were watching a movie

Thanks guys

Dang: Your telling me!!! Talk about peace of mind.. A return pump and a powerhead.. No reactors, easy compatibility mapping, far less pest risk, far less financial commitment.. I spent 4 months planning the 280 and then 5months building/purchasing. By the time I was done i think I was out about 5 grand and countless hrs (enjoyable but time nonetheless) PLUS 200 per month in operational cost. This Fish Only took about 2hrs of planning, and 6 hrs to build and put together; all for about 800.00 and costs about 50.00 per month to maintain.. Granted all my SPS experience contributed greatly to building the Fish Only... It was like assembling a Model plane after building a jet liner

Reed: The Eels are on there way soon
