A new beginning.............

[Speckled Grouper]

Thanks to Rogger, Keith, my boyfriend Jack and his friend Frank, the beast arrived in our living room this afternoon.

265g Perfecto - It's beautiful!

I will be selling the 250g Bowfront, just as soon as we get this one set up. Should be somewhat easier than the 180/250 swap since we are putting it on the opposite wall.

Good Question .........Long story............:bigeyes:

It "fell" into my lap. But in a nutshell, even though it's only 15g more, the additional foot in length makes it look much bigger. And through the learning experiences of the past 4 years, we have some crazy ideas to convert this into the easiest, most bulletproof, energy efficient set up yet.

 

[carlosngloria]

Well that sounds good. Im interested in hearing these energy efficient ideas.

As I run a barracuda pump on my 210, it powers my Etss 800 and has a strong flow in the tank. Also I have my UV on one of the return drains. I might in the near future borrow a little from another drain to run a Phosphate Reactor. Not sure yet. If I could make my system a little more energy efficient it would be great.

 

[Speckled Grouper]

For one, I got rid of my Phosphate reactor already. I am running Phosar by Warner Marine, that does not need a reactor. Works great!
