Well Im headin to Home Depot or Lowes tonite. Im going to try to find the eggcrate, and get all of my PVC Supplies. I might try to build my durso Stand Pipe. Im beggining to get really excited.

BigAl07 · 11-08-2007, 04:58 PM

I'm excited for you!! Good luck

ScubaDrew · 11-08-2007, 04:59 PM

Sounds good dude, this is really coming along. You can purchase the prebuilt durso's online if the home depot fails to have all the parts (mine never fails to be out of one part that i need!)

I use Krylon spray paint on the back wall. Or you can use a roller and I believe it is latex based paint, but don't quote me on that. I used black Krylon the last two times and it worked fine.

JFK_Jr · 11-08-2007, 08:31 PM

Nice setup!

I also run Jeff's Lifereef berlin and have nothing but good things to say about his products and service.

I used a sponge roller and several coats of black latex paint on my back glass.

michael_cb_125 · 11-08-2007, 08:37 PM

Thanks for all the information everyone.

I gotta agree. I haven't used his sumps, but I've used his older venturi skimmers (the huge ones that are like 3 and 4 feet tall). After using his skimmers I realized the difference in quality that you pay for between some of the cheaper brands and the quality ones.
Also by far some of the best customer service I've encountered for anything I've ever purchased. It's been more than a few years since I've done business with them, but I would assume it is still the same. Even went as far to make some replacement parts for skimmers that he quit making and didn't charge much at all for them.
Makes me feel bad that I've been using ER skimmers....
