Third Time's the Charm (Photos)

[Sherman]

Krish, why so much Loc-Line? Up top, can you put the "Y" piece right up against the one that's threaded into the bulkhead? Then the nozzles right on the "Y"? There seems to be a lot of straight Loc-Line back there. And if it's straight, why have it there?

 

[Krish]

That is some wicked stuff man, I think I'd leave it alone for now & put some candy inside
Go have your baby & raise it & let your tank mature & grow stuff & be Happy

Thanks scooty! It's really nice. I'll just be messing with nozzle placement now

How about 2 penductors, instead of the nozzles? BTW looking goood Krish

Thanks Jorge! I've looked at those penductors before, but never gave them much thought about putting them in this tank because they look pretty big. I'll have to see one in a tank to tell if I'd like um

A "Y" can't be used on the threaded male lockline adaptor or else the lockline coming off, won't fit up againt the side so I have to tail off with some lockline first and then Y. About the nozzle placement, I had posted earlier on the thread that the tank was cloudy and I'll have to sit down and look at it when I get home to see how they will be adjusted.

That isn't Loc-line that is monster Tube- worms

He wants to flow around, between, on the sides & the other tank across the street

You got it Scooty! With the "Y"s up top, 2 nozzles are pointing straight out now but two are pointing inwards a bit which mixes things up a bit. Still not a final placement but I'll have it sorted out when I get home. Wanna hear something funny? No leaks from anything I glued together (plumbing wise) but one bulkhead was leaking and I had to use a pair of pliers to give it a slight turn which seemed to have done the trick.

I went back to the single outputs on each bulkhead and the flow was un-real! I lost a gargonian but atleast it was the one that never looked so good from day 1. I guess the flow finished him off. I couldn't get a picture of the tank though because by reducing the outputs to 4 nozzles rather than 6 like I had, each nozzle put out a lot more flow and it kicked up some crazy detritus under and off of the rocks and my fish ran for cover I guess my skimmer will go crazy tonight, but that's good. The fish are back swimming around now and I'll get a shot of the nozzle placement when things settle. Here's what the surface looks like now though

 

[Krish]

I added a flare nozzle to the top output from the return that sits out front and here's how everything is inside the tank. Basically the same nozzle setup before adding the extra pump. So, that's all folks. Thanks for looking

[mattseattle]

nice flow..... now leave it be!

+1 for Post Count

 

[Scooterman]

Nice looking Krish, now make us a video of the flow so we all can enjoy it
I made one of mine, I just didn't put it up somewhere so it can be seen on line, not sure how I'll do that, either I have to host a site or find one I can upload to.

Thanks my peeps! Matt...How do you like it now without the maxi jet

 

[shallowreef]

Looks Good!!

So anyone want to take bets as to when the next time Krish is going to change around his tank?

 

[Krish]

ROFL! I can't add anymore flow in there! I already lost a gargonian as a result so I'm good...I think

 

[shallowreef]

thats insane!!!!

 

[Krish]

Yeah it is...Not including head or frictional loss, I am turning over my cube about 104 times each hour

 

[varpanus]

if you're not careful, you'll end up havin' a hurricane inside your house! I really do like the look of that whole tank. nice one!

 

[Krish]

LOL! Thanks Tony! I'm not too bad with the flow though. Check out this thread I started about 2 weeks or so ago. It may be helpful as well
