Kschweers rebuild. 57g rimless

Yes! Water! Do you see any restriction in terms of return pump performance from those 90's?

Any restriction seems pretty minimal. The pump is a bit over powered to begin with so it's really not too noticeable. It's an adjustable pump with 6 speed adjustments. Right now it's only on the second level. I wanted to keep the stand nice and open not too obstructed with plumbing to do this I needed to run it that way.

Everything has settled out in the tank and it's looking nice and clear. Still need to plumb in my skimmer and reactors. Hopefully tomorrow. I also plan to make a matching small cabinet for the side of the tank to house all of the electrical. Please don't mind the wires all over. I plan to run them much better once I have the cabinet installed. They are driving me crazy how they are.

Kevin, looking pretty.


I’m really liking your rockwork. Maybe it’s my sick mind, but it reminds me the Rorschach inkblot test. I see two combatants ready to fight. Don’t worry, I’m seeing my therapist tomorrow.

 

[kschweer]

Thanks Paul. I can kind of see what you are talking about. Maybe I'm a little sick in the head too. Does your therapist have any openings...lol

It's been a while since I have updated this thread. I am happy to say that the tank has cycled. Did a 20% water change tonight and I am hoping to get a fish or 2 by the weekend.

I'm still no too sure. Possible a pair of banggai cardinals if I can find some captive raised.

Looks great Kevin! Did you ever get the skimmer and reactors plumbed in?

 

[kschweer]

Thank you George. I have the skimmer plumbed in but not the reactors yet. I think im going to go in a different direction with them than I had previously.

Took a trip up to trop yesterday after work. Picked up a couple firefish. I'm really happy to finally have some life in the tank.

I really like these guys, not good with bullies but they sure are cool.

Thanks nikki. I will most certainly keep that in mind next time I head up there. It would be nice to have a pit stop with that long ride.
