ChrisQ's Upgrade Build....Again

[nivram]

I was actually thinking of painting them black, but I get what you're saying. I'm not sure how good it will look though. The black I was going to spray on, to match the walls I would have to roll/brush on

What about just flat black spray paint?

That's exactly what I ended up doing.

Here's how it sits so far. Next is plumbing and I may add a shelf or two on the right hand side.

You and me both, I'm already making my wish list.

Hopefully you get things that grow up fast and you can sell or trade.

Here is more or less of what I plan to do with my plumbing...

nice not bad.:thumbsup:

I have a question for everyone.... Maxspect gyre or mp40? I'm debating which one to get. I currently have a mp10 and wp25 in my 57 and don't think that would be enough flow in my 80. With the dramatic price drop in the mp40 I don't know which is the better bet. The new gyre or the proven mp?

What are your thoughts?

hey have you though about what you going to get.. gyre or mp 40. I looked at the gyre that thing looks nice.. lots of flow:eek1:

No I haven't decided which way I'm going yet. I'm leaning towards one way a little more but still want to read a little more before I pull the trigger.

The 130s are coming out soon. Was considering one myself so I can remove an MP and my tunzes

 

[tonyyloww]

I really like the way the gyre looks in a tank. You can't really tell if its a pump. And the flow that comes from it.. wow. Real good. I really not a fan of buying high price reef equipment . But this might be good.

Are you going to run anything other than the fuge off the return?

 

[Chrisq0904]

I want to put 4 gate valves. One for the fuge, one for my dual reactor and 2 for possible additions depending on how the tank runs.

 

[rovster]

Your pump will not have enough juice for all that

 

[Chrisq0904]

On that note plumbing has been modified. If I decide I need the extra reactors I'll get a bigger pump at that time


Ps I will be putting a valve for the fuge area

Drain/ skimmer on left, return pump middle with a "tee" to feed the fuge on the right.
