Roscoe's 270g build

[Myteemouse]

Thanks guys! I think most people can imagine what happened...bending down to lift a 270g tank can lead to serious problems...:lol:

this is what happens when your wear your "sundays best" slacks to do a heavy lifting job LOL
Will never forget that one...:badgrin:

Thanks Duane! I have 3 partitions. The 1st is 30''x18'' (skimmers) then overflows to the second chamber 32''x18'' (Live rock) then under 4'' partion and over to return 6''x18''. Do you think I can pull from the second chamber where it overflows from 1st chamber and dumb it at the end of the 2nd chamber under and over to the return?

Thanks

In your case, Id probably pull it from the end of the second chamber after the LR so It can do its job, and then put the output right in front of the return pump so the chilled water can go straight to the display where its needed the most.


Mine is mostly plumbed the way it is due to lack of planning.

eheim 1260 would be your best bet if you are looking for complete silence and reliability. Should've asked me I had a 1260 and 1262. Jayson got to me before you he picked up the 1260. I'm going to use my 1262 to run the chiller.

If you need a pump I might have a spare mag5.

 

[Myteemouse]

I have a mag7.5 (from you) but it rattles like no ones business..

Well the mag 5 is much quieter. All I use it for is to transfer water from one container to another. If you want the mag5 I can use the mag7 to transfer water no biggie.

No way not me I'm nicer than you guys...:lol:

Anyway hoping to see some pics of the aquascape Sarang! I was actually surprised how easy it was to get the tank in your house...

 

[roscoe]

OK as promise. Here is a little update with pics. I stayed up until 1am to finish up my rock work. It didn't turn out as plan but it looks decent enough. I got it filled with water today and I ran into a few leaks. I had one leak in my return chamber in the sump where I had plumbed with a ball valve to drain the sump I had to cut that and plug the hole. The other leak was at the lower left corner where a bulk head is that was an easy fix we just had to put the gasket on the outside of the tank and the last leak is at one of my return I used silicone to seal that up. I am now waiting for the silicone and check for leaks again and if all good. I will have her running tonight. Anyhow here are some pics.

Now you're talkin'! Looking great Sarang. Odds are you will re-scape it 1-200 more times before you are happy, but it's a great starting point

Thanks! The thing is I didn't mind reaquascpaing the 40b every nw and then. This is a more tricky. Working with 40lbs of rock is much easier than 200lbs. I really don't want to aquascape again LOL. It was a huge undertaking just getting it in there the 1st time.

 

[Myteemouse]

Very nice brutha..
Salty water yet or just water???

 

[roscoe]

That is pure puget sound saltwater baby! I had it delivered today.

 

[nwinverts]
