500g bi-level reef system

[malawiman]

the noise can be anoying im planning a mini durso but im open to suggestions.
it was louder till i put that blue cap on there that was kinda what i was trying to show on the vid. its alot quieter with the cap. im wondering if the mini durso idea would be safe since the water level will fluctuate at first when the power comes on.

i know little about dorsos accept the ones in my HOB overflow box your right the lvl of water does go higher then normal until it equals out with the stand pipes but in my little box it doesnt raise that much before lowering back down though

i guess i will just build one and test it out. should only be a few bucks for the elbows. ill post up progress.

Man I bet the CEO of the Electric company knows you by name ! Expect a Christmas card from him this year ! LOLOL j/k :lolspin:

All kidding aside, I would be in heaven if my wife would let me have that much fish stuff in the house . If I did I would be alone in a heartbeat . She doesnt share in the addiction. Especially since a little while ago I took down my 110 gallon reef tank , and my electric bill dropped $100 a month ! She was overjoyed ! :lol:

Anyway I love your setup !

did alot of work today. added 1.5 5g buckets of sand to the 100g stock tank now the new dsb. took all rock and most corals out of the 135g display tank. removed 3 blue green reef chromis, two sicsortail dart fish, algae blenny and male marroon clown all from the displays, all were for sale and are now gone. i also removed the black and white clowns and placed them with the anemone in the cube tank. totally re aquascaped the 135g display and added a new red tail flasher wrasse to the 135g display and a target mandarin to the cube. whew that was alot of work. i will post pics of the 135g display tommarow but here is the cube tank fully stuffed with corals from the display. thanks for looking.

update.
we have had a fellow reefer express interest in the cube tank. we plan to trade the cube for a 8' 112g acrilic tank. :bounce1:. we are planning to put this tank in the same place as the cube but hugging the wall makeing a
14' long L of tank display. we plan to move our two triggers , one six linned wrasse, 5 yellow tailed damsels, and alot of our softies, leathers, mushrooms etc. any sugestions for inhabitants? btw this tank has a overflow box with a durso and i plan to light this tank with pc lights untill i can get 2 more 250w mh and build a conopy. the back is black and the dimensions are 15"w X 18"t X 96" l.

the cube tank is gone and the new tank is in its place. i added the triggers and picked up a pair of fairy wrasses. if anyone is interested ill post pics.
