U changed the plumbing? What did u change from the stock?

From the return to the drain the stock one it's just to small starts with a 3/4" and reduces to 1/2inch to small for me! I'm trying to minimize power heads inside the tank

Some update
Heaters on temp at 84* degrees I add ammonia to .2 and I add some bacteria now I just need the bacteria to do there job and wait !!!!

What are the sump's dimensions? I am considering purchasing one of these systems, but, the sump seems a little small to use my existing skimmer (an Alpha 200) in.

Thanks!

I guess 20+ years of killing,growing,breeding and fragging get yiu to this point :bounce2:

Is the rear section of your overflow box dry? I've never seen an Elos in person. Does the water fill the front section of the overflow where I see a divider then go through the bulkhead?

Yes it's dry!
The water fill the from section of the overflow and drains through the PVC pipe
Elos use a PVC block not a pipe but work the same, I just make my return and drain bigger

Oh cool... did you drill the glass for larger bulkheads?

 

[auntiecookie]

Yes

Yes

Yes is did ! I took me some time to get done because of the thickness of the glass :uzi:

 

[BeanMachine]

Wow didn't notice the baffle for the overflow is removable?

nice tank and love the rockwork.

With running the single drain at such high flow, you are not problems with noise in the sump? I had to gate my elos way back. will try and post some pics of mine in the next few days...feel free to poach some ideas.
