okay let me try that. I have a mac so no right click option but i get the idea.

 

[ntswift]

lets try this again, again...

Okay so this is the beast RO/DI unit that I got from Les.

 

[ntswift]

Wahoo!!! Thanks Don and Michael! okay now for the photos..hahahaha

My closed loop pump (Dolphin ampmaster 7500) and my return pump (Iwaki 40RXLT)

You got it but dont use the big one ending in _b. They turn out to grainy with the camera phone pics. You can just edit out the _b on the end of the file name if its easier.

Don's right. Chose the image location of the next size smaller.

Oh, and get rid of the Mac...lol. J/k

Future home for the tank.

basement challenges

finished the back side though

and of course the stupid bits or stupid operator who broke them...

here's one more of the tank

 

[ntswift]

Okay I will try that for the next batch when the stand is finished. Thanks again guys!

The filters on that RO/Di are so long.. does size matter?

 

[ntswift]

I dont know I will ask her.... jk...

 

[ntswift]

Its a 200 GPD RO unit with an additional DI unit at the bottom. It is pretty massive though. The RO unit that is!

Okay so the stand is done and I have 3 of the 4 holes drilled in the tank for the return for the closed loop. One question though. Should I have two intake holes for it or do you think one would suffice? They are 1 1/2" holes by the way with a Dolphin ampmaster 7500 driving the closed loop.

 

[ntswift]

just a quick update. Finished stand with helper testing it out.

 

[ntswift]

Well, the frame for the stand anyway.

 

[jake65]

[DBM Reef]

[ntswift]

If you have two inlet holes you will have less "suction" than just one - which could help keep your fish from getting sucked in

Plus, its just another way to add flow - the pump will only be able to output what it inputs, so if you restrict the input too much, you will have less flow on your outputs as well.

You did the same thing I did to my bits when I was working on my sump stand. =) LOL. I was really angry.

Good point!

Nanoreefer411- Yes, I was extremely angry too that night! There is only so much beating down a man can take! hahaha Oh well I'm done with that part now! On to the plumbing!
