Your good......your good After you see them work if you want some I would be happy to build them for you

The flow wolf looks pretty nice! As usual your installation looks even nicer!

Thank you the bar is set high with so many killer large tank builds
Working on my close loop plumbing kind of hard to get a good pick but 8 outlets feed by two 4300gph pumps. Have not made up my mind yet on the close loop pumps?

Notice the back valves I set them off plumb easier to reach from front and looks better when viewed.

Adding the black vinyl hose to the Flowwolf not the best shots I can only get 5' back from DT

The bulkheads in the top go to your moflows correct? Did you detail how those are put together somewhere?

I have many times over the last year as I have made about a dozen different design's of the MO FLOWs Most of the time it is on forums DIY areas if you tell me which one I would be HAPPY to tell you the material and steps! The evolution has taken me to SIX different flow patterns working on area specific outlets.............
The first pic is installed side's of DT....x2
Next center section of DT.....x4
Lower front corners.....x2
Upper back corners with small spinning eyes......x2

I am interested in them all! However I am most curious about the one with the spinning eye (3rd pic). If easier in another format I can provide email via pm

I pick up some 9 watt refugium ATS stand lights they are 3-3watt Bridgelux and is only 2" x 2" wide. They were perfect for what I needed since they are going between two pipes.

Also, where did you find these? I keep trying to figure out how to DIY some fuge/ ATS lights but the cost is always ridiculous.

On eBay under aquarium lighting they are bridge lux leds.

I always seem to be tweaking stuff......little things but mean more in the long run
Here I removed elbow fitting with Flowwolf feed line,

Here I am planning my built on skimmer's bracing will go more in-depth later during skimmer install,

LOL.....my pvc bone yard is getting huge....boxes full....and still always need something I don't have.............

Here working on one of four close loop overflows.....will all be plumbed in sch 40 clear pvc pipe for viewing different process,

Can any of the spinners be retrofitted to loc line?

 

[Aquatron]

No with 1000gph going thru them and spinning just under DT surface water they need to be supported. The spinners act as a vortex wave maker going from the top down in lieu of side to side along with creating surface waves

 

[Sonicboom]

Gotcha

 

[Aquatron]

I know you could build one out of a 3 arm plastic sprinkler that would be light enough for 1/2" lock line. I have seen them used in frag tanks before......they work really well.

 

[Sonicboom]

I have some 3/4" loc line and had one of those hydor oscillating nozzles which worked pretty well but was only doing about 300gph and I would prefer 5 times as much...

Turn it on and lets see how it flows.

Small overflow

Small overflow

I wanted to add a couple of extra overflows on my DT in case it was needed. These worked out perfect for what I wanted/needed they are 1" also using the 2" ones with my built on skimmer feed's. They are built by Life Guard and come in all size's both threaded and slip.

 

[sandyland]

Where did you order the overflow covers.
Those look nice

 

[Aquatron]

Many of our sponsors here have them they are under strainers in their plumbing section's
