Should the baffles leading into the return section be lower or should both sets be the same height?

Same height. A friend of mine here in San Antonio is really, really good with acrylic. He is who built it. His screen name is Hobogato on MAAST.

Here's the sump I just had built for my 185. My tank is a 5' tank.

Just for your consideration in brainstorming.

The first section to the left is the intake side. This will be the fuge with LR and chaeto. The middle section is for the DSB. The reactors will also be in this section. The next section is for the beastly skimmer. Then on to the return section. This is where the tunze osmolator sensor and reactor pump will be. I still need to drill a 3" hole for the bulkhead. I'm running a reeflo snapper circulation pump. Also had an acrylic drip tray for the pump to sit in for identifying seal failures on the pump.

Overall dimensions are 48"LX24"wX20"h

Water level in the first two chambers is 16" then dropping to 7.5"in the skimmer section.

That's some super smooth water flow there!!

Im interested. How well would you think the green element Evo would work as a fuge light? I can't seem to find much online for it.

Excellent, albeit short, article!

I states that it turns the water in the nem cells to hydrogen which disintegrates the aiptasia.

Tim, could you get a video of the sump on that 500 gallon system or just some pics? I'd even settle for a drawing

Lol!

Tucker was a great movie. At least they were all in the same biz though. This is ridiculous, to be honest. I looked up the (lack of) similarities of the logo. I call PR stunt! If this is real, McDonald's is next on the list...

That's an awesome story, Patrick!!

Woohoo!! Keep me posted. Down the road I may be looking to start dosing as well...

Unfortunately quite a few of the items we purchased are manufactures over seas. And with advances in online shopping its possible to find the same product with another name. They can over produce what the company is ordering from them. This allows the mfg company to pad their bottom line. All the r&d and engineering is done. I've had good luck most everytime due to this process. Problem is usually no local support and warranty service.

It's all groovy! Just didn't wanna let you think you were gonna get out of updating! Lol!

-Ben-

You promised updates Radney...

How's it doin?

- Ben -

Pm sent

Pm'ed

Hmmm... That's awfully nifty. I may have to devise something rather similar.

That truly is a great looking aqua scape

Woohoo! Congratulations!!

Welcome to ARC! Lots of great folks on here to bounce ideas off of.

Manny, my male red mandarin. Very prominent crest.

My pep will crawl onto my hand for food. Try spot feeding him to coax him out.

No worries! Thanks.

not to rain on your parade but i hope you have a tank larger then a 110 for the tangs as they need a bigger tank then that

+1. Tangs need a good sized footprint

Still available?

I got a hm1 dual inline TDS meter on eBay for $24 brand new. I know you said you wanted to avoid online stuff but, that was too good to pass up.
