I'm running a closed loop, with a oceans motions wave maker.

I had a friend over and was showing him the flow so I had the nozzles turned up a little, looks hellish in the vid but once it setup should be just right

Well I swapped out the Reeflo Hammerhead 5800gph with a Reeflo Barracuda 4300gph for the closed loop, this was the pump i was planning to use all along but when I went to test the pump it was seized up well I finally got time to tear it apart today got it working and hooked up :)

The Barracuda was only used 3 months according to the previous owner but they didn't clean it be fore storage, luckily all seals and motor are in good shape :) cost me 125.00 retails for 380.00 so I'd call that a SCORE :)

Raven ignore the song i was being goofy :D

I dont have sound.....=( My audio just disappeared one night right off my puter. *sigh* just another annoying thing to have to deal with. Technology can be such a pain in the bucket sometimes.

Yeah still have a drip in the sump where I patched it, tomorrow I'll pull the sump and take it outback to fix ut properly, I was hopinh I could do it where it was but no luck, after that I want to scrub everything down one more time and I'll be ready to add salt. :D

Here's a new video of the frag tank in action, the salinity is low cause i ran out of salt 1.015 so the skimmer is not working properly.

There is also a shot og the Hofer Gurgle busters in action for those of you that were curious.

Last but not least some footage of the nano :D

I'm starting over had some issues with drywall dust and since it got into the plumbing where I can't clean it the whole setup was torn down, I'm going to sell the 300 and order a real tank probably like your :D yes I'm copy cating :D

The bathroom is so air tight my pump was sucking air through the wall pulling the dust into the tank it was white this morning, so I have to get new plumbing and clean everything cause wet drywall dust is like cement.
