Oh man Wayne... Sorry to hear of your pump situation... Quite an aggravation and I was complaining that two of four pumps failed on me in one year... Good Luck man Wish you the best

Well yesterday I placed the coliseum into ruins and decided to aquascape the Reef Saavy tank. All I need to do now is add sand and stocking it. Here are pics of the scape. Any ideas or improvements they're always welcome.

Thanks bruh. Regular live sand. I'm thinking two maybe three 40 pound bags.

Very nice! Is this tank plumbed into your main system?

Yessir it is.

Sorry to hear about the darts. I use one for my return and it died on me a few years ago and then leaked when it failed. I bought another to replace it and then got the parts to do a rebuild on the first one so I now have a back up (if I ever get around to actually rebuilding it)

It happens. I can't even put one together out of the ones I lost. But it's all gravy.

You put 8 A360N's on there? Are you crazy? Do you want to grow SPS on your sandbed?

 

[maroun.c]

Love that scape.

Wayne what did you go with for the new return pump?

Wayne what did you go with for the new return pump?

I went with the new Jebao DCT 12000. When the newer DCT 15000 hit the US warehouse I will upgrade to that and use the 12000 as my return pump.

How much of a flow difference is there between them and the dart?

[SPotter]

are you going to run the jebao's internally in the sump?

 

[A_CoupleClowns]

Cool, I didn't know jebao had the new DC pump out. I will be interested to hear your review on them over time.

What are you initial impressions of the pump?

O so there is a bigger 15000 coming out? I was looking at those but to weak after 12 feet of head height from the basement.
