just let me know Brenda. I am going to be ordering a new T5 light for the gf's tank and another T5 light for a project tank so maybe we can get an even deeper discount if we order it all at the same time.

sambrinar · 01-06-2009, 12:22 AM

That would be sweet! Too bad we don't live near each other, we could get a discount on shipping,

but, Let me know when, I can order any time!

Ossmosis? diffusion?? Magic??? JK We just plumbed it last night, I will take some picts of it this am and post. I took those before we finished it. We still need to tweek it some before we do a test drive. I need to mix more water, prolly will wait for the REAL LR before we really try it, right now the water level is too low

The light is gonna be 2 Aquariumled lights (I already have 1) prolly 4 T5's and moonlights if they can squeeze those in there. <sigh> Can't wait to get this thing going,,, stinkin' holiday!!!

sambrinar · 01-06-2009, 04:34 PM

OK it is plumbed, but not tested, we gonna go get some more water and test it out tonight. Here are the picts. removing the skimmer cup from the back is gonna be interesting, but doable, for how long IDK!!

Definately gonna get some black backing

***any suggestions***
1. Behind the tank, showing the skimmer cup

2. top of tank showing the outflow. we are gonna turn the PVC away from the outflow

3. showing the outflow and PVC through the tank

4. Under tank showing sump with 1 media basket in place (ignore my professional silicone job!!) Good thing that is UNDER the tank

sambrinar · 01-06-2009, 04:58 PM

Just got an excellent suggestion for my tight skimmer fit from panmanmatt, gonna drill a small hole, put some airline through it to drain into a jar!! that way I wont have to remove the cup too frequently..

Thanks Matt!!!!
