Brought tank, stand and sump to new place. Guess what. Some how the sump cracked on bottom and long side. Will have to rip it a part to get baffles. Will pickup another 20g this weekend and try again.
Sunny, sorry to hear that was hoping it was on a high seam.
My offer still stands if you need the 55g to hold your fish LMK. I am not currently using it.
I have a 55g sitting in my yard if you need it. I would bring it to you but my car is full with my tank I am moving so no room for buckets or anything util later tonight.
Let me know and will PM my address. Sorry to hear about this and best of luck containing the leak.
I am considering this skimmer for my tank build. I read that you need 9 to 11 inches of water for it to operate which seems like to much. I then read on R2R and other sites people are running them in 7 or 8 inches of water. My sump has a 6 to 7 inch water dept. Do you think the skimmer will...
Cut for dorso overflow done. Looks like I will just ckear it. Had to be careful not to cut out holes to secure bank panel. Will be hauling stand, tank & sump to new place this week so I can start plumbing on the weekend.
The assembly was fairly easy but I did get 3 broken parts.
1) The metal catch plate for magnetic lock was bent. Fixed with vice grips.
2) The locking nut was also bent. My neighbor had a vice we could use to straighten it.
3) The magnetic lock came broken in several pieces. Using Gorilla glue...
Almost complete but I would need to place sump in stand before finishing. Or if there is another option please let me know.
Also, suggestions on how to cut top for dorso appreciated.
So the last one on the right is the scrubber. I always thought you need to have a pump pushing water over it. In this it looks like the screen would just start to grow algae with low flow. Correct?
I can add egg crate not an issue. I assume the left is flow from DT, middle is for the skimmer, egg crate and screen is the algae scrubber and right side is the return.
Does that sound correct?
Does anyone have suggestion on how I should place the baffles in my sump? Hoping to glue them in tonight.
Do I need a section for a fuge?
How much room needed for an algae scrubber?
Etc.
Much appreciated.
Thanks Mike. I hope to get the stand and sump all situated and hauled down to the new place. This week but will need your help with plumbing. If that doesn't happen will probably take you up on your offer time is running out.
