Frankie's 120gal. glass experiment

[Craig Manoukian]

Awesome swim room!

Looking good!

I have a similar standpipe in my HOB overflow. It involved a lot more cutting of the bushing, but it works great! I still get a little surge in the sump, so perhaps the air flow could be tweaked more, but the important thing is that it is quiet and compact.

Love the new scaping Frankie! Beautiful reef..and that monti is enormous!

Frank looks AWESOME!! I may need to make a "Road Trip" this summer and take some LESSONS from you bro! That 120 is REALLY sharp!! Keep it up bro!!

 

[Frankie]

Nice new aquascaping Frank, like your crazy monti but your clams too.

 

[Frankie]

Here you go John. Acrylic Tube, 1/4" Wall
Sheets i am getting locally but i use them for tubes.
Thanks hma! All the animals are much happier now.
I have been building a calcium reactor. I'll try to remember to post pictures tonight.

 

[Dentoid]

Looking great Frankie! You have inspired me to do a similar thing to my tank. Now all I need is the courage!

 

[Witfull]

hey Frankie,,,,did i ever tell you about the single head of Palyotha got from one of your rocks?.....thanks Bro~

 

[JWarren]

Thanks Frankie,

Just what I needed!

I can get sheets local as well, but the tubes are a bit harder to find.

 

[Varga]

That monti is the most amazing thing i have ever seen! tank looks great!

 

[lcstorc]

Great job.
Everything looks very hapy with the changes.
I can't believe that monti. That is incredible.

 

[JWarren]

Everything looks tripindickular dude!

You definitely have a saltwater green thumb!

 

[Frankie]

Nice Dave! Post a picture here of it when you have time.
Here is the ca++ reactor i am building. I am not done yet but close. I just put in a few minutes a day on it. It is something like the Barr aquatics but i am not to sure how they plumb theres so i had to come up with my own way. The big seller on this design is there is not equipment or pvc coming out of the top. Easy access. It is a dual up flow.

 

[JWarren]

Dual media with CO2 on the pump side?

You are connecting them together yeah? Tube across the top?

or....

Are you going to make me wait for a thread to get the answer?

 

[Frankie]

No thread for this one. The pictures should be enough if anyone wants to copy it.
No tubes on top. That would defeat the purpose. I want easy access. Both sides are up flow. One with co2 the other to buffer the ph back up before hitting the tank.
Stay tuned....

 

[JWarren]

Couldn't see how the tube without the pump hooks up, so I take it you are not finished yet and are teasing the heck out of us! OK! I see how you are now!

Alright I'll Stay turned.

 

[Triggerjay]

Great work once again Frankie! I have thought about adding a second chamber to mine,... but my PH is ok, so I don't know if I will..
