Finally after all the work i got my 55 gal up and running, have an extra hob filter just for the beginning to get everything ready faster.
Reefpete said:Nice design and I'm going with a ten gallon also...do you have your dimensions for baffles etc.??? Would be a big help
Heat transfer in ny is good in winter bc it's cold and summer I have my air on always and keeps temps perfect
Thanks, my baffle dimensions are 8x10 the acrylic and the one in the middle I raised by 2 inches and it's about an inch of space between them.
Hondachico said:I had no problem with the silicon the only thing I had to get an extension when putting the silicon between the baffles because the gun didn't fit.
Reefpete said:Awesome and what type of extension you use? A home made one or they sell one like at home depot ??
Hondachico said:All I did was got some extra clear tubing I had laying around and I put it on the tip
Hondachico said:I went a little big on that but I can regulate it, I have a 600 gph pump in the sump, had to tune it down a little because it was shooting a lot of air bubbles
Hondachico said:I put a ball valve just on the overflow, the return line the pump has a way to adjust it on the pump itself
