Is your real name Tim Allen? I can just see it... you must have a pump powered by a 427 hemi. *tim allen grunts* :eek2:

I'm looking for 2 of the flare nozzles.

Man I didnt think it would be so hard to get another impellar. The LFS's don't have them. Telling me its going to take a couple of weeks. I hate it when you call a place and ask if they have something and they don't then they say "but I can order it for you!". I just wanna say "No kidding...

:silly:

Check your local farm supply store; if they have those in NC. They alwas have them sitting out at the stores around here. Good luck. -Eric

Check out the DIY forums both here and at reefcentral.com. There are plenty of projects people have done to give you tons of ideas for stands or anything else. As far as the overflow goes it is really up to you. The advantages of having the mega-flow system is it is all inside your tank which...

yeah I hope to ditch the bubble trap too..

hmm guess I can't use the Mag3 as it does not have a needle wheel impeller. Guess I just need to order a new impeller? -E

I was out gathering parts and equipment for my new sump and ended up picking up the Coralife Super Skimmer for use with my setup. I must say I am very impressed with the construction of this bad boy. I am replacing my AquaC Remora Pro and as far as I'm concerned the quality is far superior. I...

Thanks Everyone! Have a pepsi on me. :pepsi:

I need to put a barb fitting on the output of my Mag pump that is going to be in my sump. Typically teflon tape is used to prevent the threaded connection from leaking. I am leary of using it as the pump will be submerged in the sump and I am afraid the tape will contaminate the water...

Brenden, Do you think a Mag 9 will heat up my 70gal rr and soon to be sump which I think is going to be 29gal.? Also, Dave did you take into consideration any valves and elbows involved when calculating head pressure? According to the head loss calc over at ReefCentral a mag9 will flow about...

The waste water is produced by the RO part of the system. My understanding is that upto 75% of the water that passes through the unit will be rejected by the RO membrane. The water that is rejected is diverted to the drain. HTH, -Eric

well I did it... got an Oceanic 70RR. Went ahead and used some of the old sand. I had quite a bit in the 65. The trim on the oceanic is smaller so all that sand would not have looked right. It is 3-4 inches deep. Nope, sand looks nice a clean. Amazing to see what was actually in the...

Still have some? I'd like to get a bag. -Eric

I have purchased a new reef ready tank and built a stand for it as well. 65gal All-Glass Aquarium 36"wide 18"deep 24"tall Oceanic Pine Stand $200 for the pair. For local pickup only. -Eric

I have a 4-5in sand bed that has been in my 65 for about a year and a half. I want to change the tank out to a reef ready tank and I am wondering if the sand could be used in the new tank as the DSB? It seems there is some concern about disturbing the DSB and letting out some bad stuff...

Until I get my sump plans sorted out is ok to put cheato or some other type of macro aglea in the main display? If so what type is best? Or will it just get devoured by the fish? Tanks, -Eric

I will have the sump up on a workbench which is pretty high off the floor.. about 4'. The house is old and is not constructed like todays homes. The garage ceiling is 8' that is were I come up with 8-10' of head. So I'll plan on 12' considering T's, elbows and bends. Most of the reef ready...

Ahh thanks Steve for the telling me how to fix the attachment problem. Hmm.. maybe the garage is not the best idea then. We do use it to store the car but it is only occasionally used. 2 or 3 times a week. The car is NEVER run with the garage door closed. I'm thinking the sump may be safer...

:oops: Sorry about the triple image attachment. There was no indication that it was attached so I kept trying to do it! I cant figure out how to fix it either. :oops: Can one of you spiffy mods fix it? TIA, -E
