its still available...any OFFERS ?

Alot of people run pvc into their tank for the return line and they drill a hole right under the water line. I made this part today with pvc and some old nozzles that came with pumps ive bought in...

Im gonna try something diff tomorrow. I think it has something to do with the holes I drilled in the end of the return line.

Ok, so everything is set up..got the overflow running...to the skimmer chamber..into the refugium, into the return pump area....goes into the chiller and then up into the tank...my question is all...

Ive been hooking things up nice and neat for 2 days now. spending hours at a time on it. Everything is hooked up, but I need to make up another batch of water so I can start the...

=) thanks.

The first pic is when I first started my 29 gallon oceanic biocube, with its stand, and just sand..no water yet. 2nd and 3rd pic are in the same spot, new stand, new tank, (50 gallons) some sand...

I went with the RIO PLUS 2500. about 49 watts. 782 gph at 0 head. 529 gph at 4 feet and 375gph at 6 feet.

havent actually measured..hes prob around 8 inches and pretty wide..but the fartherst I saw him stretch out in the 10 gallon tank today was the length of it...which is a foot.

I had to move everything out my tank today so I could move it to another location. I will be settin up my bigger tank in the spot the old one was in...So I put my animals in a 10 gallon while I moved...

I will most likely go with the mag drive 7. 480 gph at 4 feet.... 400gph at 6 feet... 300 gph at 8 feet.

I got a vortech mp40 w to install. =)

I took think its going to look amazing. its getting set up this week. =)

I think 4 is too much for the 10 gallon tank..i have the 23.5 inch unit and it has 6 of those modules mounted in there. Id say 2.

and if that is the case..then as of right now I already have around 10 foot of head pressure right now.. my 29 gallon biocube has a fluval fx5 hooked to it..which is hooked to the chiller and then...

chiller adds about 6 foot of pressure? really? 100 percent sure on that? if that was the case..it would be 6 foot plus 4 foot.. 10 foot of head pressure of course...thats a bit much. Thanks for...

I thought I would have gotten more feedback here but I did some more reading and they are not talking about turnover rate on just the overflow, but just in general, with the powerheads and such. So...

Well, Ive read it multiple times on different sites. Is it true is what I was asking..or would I be fine with the 300 gph overflow. I already had the overflow ,so it was just one thing I didnt...

I write the moderator asking why and the first thing said is "First of all get over it."

I listed both my bulb and skimmer there. I got this crap notification email.

The cpr overflow I was going to use was on my 29 gallon biocube and a 10 gallon tank. its rated for 300gph. my new tank is 50 gallons with a 17 gallon sump/refugium. I was reading that for fish...

Think I got it figured out..just going to have to narrow it down to what pump.

Yeah, I was already going to be in that range. =)

"This chiller is recommended for tanks up to 125 gallons in size. A pump with a flow rate of 475-800 GPH is recommended for use with this chiller."

Ocean Runner
OR 2500
max gph is 630 gph and 38 watts. I dont see anything about gph at 4 foot of head.

The eheim 1260 is 635 gph and 65 watts and look a bit more expensive.

As far as my...

I will look up some Ocean runner and eheim pumps to see what I find.

I have a better understanding now...so I have a quick question before I post some more information. Does the submersible return pump need to be all the way to the bottom of the return pump area?
...

Aquacave.com said "HF6 will not be strong enough for this setup. I would recommend HF10." Rio Hf6 is 350gph, Max Head: 6 ft. and the Hf10 is 660 Gph ,7.5' Max Height

sorry, im just lost . lol.

how would that be set up?
