My DIY Closed loop

[wrightme43]

What about a trolling motor? Just make a pvc cage so the fish cant get in. Make sure get on with the foot control. Then you can sit infront of the tank, turn it with your foot, and speed it up and down with your toe. It will be great. And if a fish pisses you off, just take off the cage.
See always thinkin. LOL

I think the 18 would work great..Krish can easily hide a new one in that pile of stuff.

This may quiet down everyone for a bit! Thanks guys for the tips! I had to basically remake the corner overflow, chisle out the stuck pieces, I changed the plumbing to mostly flex pvc, put on the round nozzles and they are blowing like a MOTHER!!!! I love it!!!!!!







This is what I think of the Tunze brackets!

LOL...There's nothing wrong I just did some major work to it tonight. I'll have to post that stuff on my other thread though(LOL) The things really working good man

 

[Krish]

Oh yeah...Don't mind how the pump is sitting. I will get it level tomorrow(LOL) Can't have things leaning at all...It's all about balance

 

[wrightme43]

Thats cool man. I love me some spaflex.

 

[daytonaconnecti]

looks great krish, great work, is their any need to have shut off valve on either side of that pump, so all you need to do is shut the valves and service the pump....or take it out to replace it ..if needed

You bet...With all the fittings, I had micro-bubbles for a few minutes and then it started to clear out. With the flex, it took literally 10 seconds to get rid of them.

Thanks Bill I have 2 unions (1 on the back of the tank and one at the pump) and then I have a ball valve on the intake. I should put one on the return, but can't find any barbed hose valves here. Nevertheless, when I tore it down yesterday, I just closed the ball valve lifted the nozzles out of the water and opened the union at the pump over my sump, and let it drain in. Afterwards, I was able to pull everything out. I put 2 unions because the hole isn't big enough for the union to get through the stand so if ever I need to clean the intake, I just disconnect it from the union in the back. Many ways you can do it, the best way IMO is where there are no leaks

Nice one Krish. I expect to see that pump properly mounted asap! I would also recommend getting some braided vinyl tubing at the very least. That clear stuff is a disaster waiting to happen.

i know on mine, i was haveing trouble, with the o ring leaking on my dolphin pump, that i had a shut off and a union, on each side of my pump, shut off the valves the i could take out the pump, with out loseing any water, i had to take it out a few times until i went and got a little thicker o ring, no leaks so far......
