I'm having big fun now...390 display +

Mike,

I want to have water in the 150 by the end of the month. I would like to go to the meeting, but depending on how much work I get done on the stand I don't know if Ill have time.
 
In my earlier days, I had two 75 gallon tanks, and later I had two 125 gallon tanks. I lost numerous fish from Ich, flukes, worms, HLLE, and some things that I never figured out. After starting to QT and getting more educated, loss numbers dropped close to nothing. It could be that I'm better at it than before. I credit strick QT with the success.

Greg, I'll put the sand in the trunk. If you're there, I'll give it to you. I'll come get mine when I'm ready for it. Cool???
 
Cryptocaryon (ich) mostly, Amyloodinium (velvet) occasionally, in one occasion some type of unidentified type of fluke, parasitic pod or crustacean. it released its self from a french angel during a hypo salinity water dip.

8 weeks - wow! i need to get a QT setup going. 8 weeks is a llllloooooonnnnnnnggggggg time!
 
excellent plumbing. How is the dart, is it loud? I'm using the barracuda but it is just too loud. I'm thinking of replacing my pump with the dart.
 
Awesome Mike. I might be at your place a little earlier (12:30) just to check it all out.. Looking at the sump is making me rethink my planning. looks like you will have plenty of room for a refugium/RDSB in that tank..

I have to touch the Darts to tell if they are running. No noise at all.

Xinu,

There must be something wrong with your barracuda, I was visiting with a fellow reefer this weekend and he was running a barracuda. Totally silent. I was amazed.
He told me he used to use a dart and accidentally let it run partially submerged for a brief period and it was noisy from then on. Bearings rusted or something. Before then he said it was totally silent as well.

I will be using a barracuda on my tank.

My barracuda is brand new that I just bought from PA. It has been running for about a 2 weeks now and it already past its break in period. But it is still too loud. I could hear it from my bedroom in the second floor of the house. I think it is time for me to call the manufacturer and see what they can do about it.
