Yes, Paul T. is correct.

The returns you see are all connected in a closed loop.

 

[starpolyp]

where are the return lines from the sump going to be? i

 

[pwhitby]

They will come in over the top of the tank, on the back.

 

[captbunzo]

I think you should spray them in from across the room - kinda like a fountain....

 

[pwhitby]

Funny....thats a recurring theme in my dreams....my bad dreams.

 

[captbunzo]

Didn't we cover nightmares a couple pages back? Something involving a mermaid???

Paul T. ....Was that a low blow?

 

[captbunzo]

Probably...

Just in case it needs to be clarified, I WAS kidding. And I think Paul (W) realizes that. I think.

Whatever the case, I apologize for any offense to any people or mermaids involved.

OK...Im lost....

But anyhow.....still filling.
Getting 120lbs more sand today.

Paul,

When are you planning on framing the wall around the tank?

Did you not want to do that before you filled it with water and started running it? I would personally worry about spilling things in the tank while framing and finishing. Like mud, paint, dust, etc. What are your thoughts on this?

 

[pwhitby]

Well...I dont think dropping things in will be a problem and right now its more important for me to have complete access to the top and sides while i work on the aquascaping etc. With the tank being 8x4 it is very easy to cover the top. Add a little plastic sheeting, and all will be well.

Very valid points that I dd not think about.

Looking great by the way. Im jealous.

No hard feeling I hope...I wasnt trying to get on your case

 

[alien9168]

BTW--- good idea about using a plastic sheet paul.

Did you add the 120lbs of sand?
How does it look?
