Re: The Rebirth of the 100

Maxi-Jets arrived


Assembly was surprisingly quick and easy


Dual Maxi's


I order these from Marine Depot and they really do work (can't afford the vortech right now). They send you to propellers one rated for 1600gph the other 2100gph. I'm thinking of adding one more which will bring total flow up to roughly 6000gph. I also have the skimmer up and running and I'll post pics of that later.

Re: The Rebirth of the 100

I like the arch. I really like your aquascaping too! It gives me some good ideas for my tank.

How are you controlling the pump for the ATO?

Re: The Rebirth of the 100

Here's what it looks like under the stand


A shot of the electrical (lights)

Pumps and heaters


The float switch I got from Autotopoff.com, works like a charm


And finally the resivor in place with the pump.

Re: The Rebirth of the 100

All wiring will be cleaned up a bit better once I get my Aqua Controller Jr. and DC8. (should be a birthday gift from the misses).
