| Re: Octoman's 55 gallons of euphoria Before I go any further, here are the current specs...
Lighting - Coralvue T5 retrofit 2 x 54w with individual reflectors.
Skimmer - Similar to Catalina Aquarium Super 1002 - rated for 200g
- It's really just a scaled down version using the same parts, but they claim they don't make it
- currently running on a maxijet powerhead with an airline tube stuck in the intake, works but a little loud, looking to replace this...
Sump has space for skimmer, return pump, and refugium (see build blog)
Two maxijet powerheads with Hydors for circulation in tank
Durso standpipes in overflow, they work great!
Cheap DIY autotopoff - two electric float valves (one for redundancy) and an aqualifter ($10) dosing pump. Works great so far! |
