SCWD Installed

johnlewis · 01-12-2004, 08:23 PM

Well I had a leak at the seal of my pump in my closed loop SCWD system but I finally finished it. The tanks is in a state of chaos, fish hiding corals shut up. I just hope its the new wave motion not anything else. The SCWD is cycling every 7 seconds from my VIA AQUA 4900 pump. I removed my Whisper 2 I was using as additional current, and needed to move around some rock. In the process I fragged one of my new frags. I hope it recovers it's been in the tank just for a week.

Pictures to come later this week.

Here is the install from the top.

Here is the pump behind the tank.

This is a filler hole I created to prime the pump, below this is a union to disconect the intake from the pump.
