Thanks Brandon, yes, the instability sucks real time, though, these rough patches make you stronger and most of the time, more intelligent
Thanks for stopping by

On-topic with the system, as mentioned before the new fuge is on-line and working great, what I was happy to learn was that during the move, both my lionfish and eel had to be removed from the former fuge into a temporary container, both of them stay there for at least 6 hours, then again, caught and placed in the new fuge, some sand and debris was running around, and things began working on the new fuge so the amount of stress on these fish was huge, non of them had one white spot of crypto on them, I was almost certain that this was the best test possible to put the fish under such path that if the system had ich, it would def. show up at that point, well no spots and that was a little over two weeks now.
Pics coming up once I recharge my camera and clean the fuge glass

Fuge Update
Fuge is online and working great, no problems so far and hope none appear, the tank is built with 10mm glass, it has some vertical beams which form the first and last chambers where the overflows are, also, it has an eurobrace on top and a beam going from back to front to avoid glass from expanding.
The fuge is fed with a pump and water gravity delivered back into the sump so no problem in case of a power outage.
Here are a couple of shots and a video of the fuge, maybe Red works as a size reference, he is about 7" long now.
And here is a YouTube video explains the system, sorry for the bad English and horrible camera:

Just the fact that you have a mag cleaner for your fuge is a sign that your your a reef junkie. Looking great Juan.

Great walk through video! Just don't trip on the pipes across the floor.
And I have to ask: if you drilled the sump for the fuge/frag return line, why not drill it for the HY feed pump for them as well? It'd take some of the extra load off of the pump too by eliminating some extra pvc length. Just a thought...

The feed line to the fuge you showed in the beginning of the video must be powered by a strong pump!

LOL Tommy, thanks for stopping by
LMAO Bill, yes you're right, I didn't do the side hole for the feed pump as I forgot to buy the 1" Bulkhead
Now I will leave it like that until I re-connect the frag tank as I will need all the head pressure I can get from that pump.
Thanks, yes the Water blaster pumps from Reef Octopus are very strong, what I like about them is that little heat transfer to the water, silent and can be used internal or external.
Great Vid Juan enjoyed seeing all the details of your new fuge ! Well done !
