Is the plumbing in post #37 good and quiet? Water is pumped into the DT, flow into the fuge, then to the sump.

I will put up pics of the finished stand and fuge light when people start to answer this.

We're not psychic Paul. We won't know if it's good an quiet till you build it.
It looks good on e-paper. That's as far as I'm willing to stick my neck out on that.

Re: Announcement to RS

These pics I took with my new camera.
Yeah, tats right, new camera. Its a Canon powershot SD1100 IS. I'm very happy with it.

In the back tank that looks like toilet flush valve bodies missing the flappers. Is that some kind of surge tank set up?

 

[PEMfish]

I never thought of it being a surge tank. That hardware leaked anyway, and it is pretty even with the DT, why they would put a surge set up on a sump is beyond me. I see one side of the dual fuge being a good mantis tank.

 

[Scouter Steve]

Without being elevated I don't see how it would work as a surge but those sure look like toilet flush valve parts.

Builders probably tried to cheap out on bulkheads...

Here is a couple week old pic of the test.
And if you promise to ignore the mess I will post some current pics.

New stand. Came out solid and pretty good all around. Plumbing is half done and the fuge light is also pictured.

I would like to take a sec to thank Steve. He has let me use his power tools to cut the 2x4s for the stand, and has been a huge help with the skimmer. He cut the acrylic and did so with pain staking accuracy. It is a very precise bunch of acrylic with considerations for how it will fit together. I also want to thank Tim for the paint and Sas for skimmer design help.

Wow Paul, That system looks pretty pimpin.
I didn't know you had it in you. :bugout:

I didn't know you couldn't read (j/k). I didn't build the tanks. Just the plumbing, stand, and skimmer. lol

I knew you'd come around here sooner or later. Glad you made it.

 

[vdituri]

I'm just here for the pretty pictures. :bluenod:
Looks like it's going to be a sweet setup.

 

[PEMfish]

No help, no pics! No soup for you!

 

[vdituri]

Sorry, what were you saying? I wasn't listening.
Did you hide a question in the thread somewhere?:laughroll

 

[PEMfish]

No, but wait. I will probably say something, then later in the post ask about it. Then nobody will answer it because just before I asked it I answered it. Confusion crises.
I have nothing new to say about the build so this is my best efforts at this thread, and I am bored.

 

[vdituri]

O.k, but you're gonna have to tell me when you need an answer instead of you just talking to yourself outloud.

Otherwise I'm just going to tag along and enjoy the pictures.

 

[PEMfish]

None now.
...I'm also hungry, and thirsty,,, and one other thing, turn off that black light.

 

[PEMfish]

I think one return and one fuge will be connected to do a 296GPH ( -friction & loss ) closed loop. And the other return and fuge side will be plumbed into the sump with about a 400GPH pump. What do yall think of that?

 

[vdituri]

Sorry Paul, I fell asleep.

You say the first one is both a closed loop AND a refugium or is it just a closed loop?
