That last one is breezy.

Thanks, thats the ATL yellowjacket surashoni before Ming lost it. I did recently take him back a seed frag when I was down there a couple weeks ago.

Thanks Mike, The one John has is different. He actually got the 1st frag off of this and its on the left side of his 300. Its kind of in the shade under his left brace.

Hey Mark, can you post another pic of under your stand, I gave up searching for it after about 10 pages I'm trying to get idea's on re plumbing my new display. I need to add my chiller, frag tank,RDSB, CA RX, PO4 reactor, etc. Most of it will sit on a shelf next to the tank so I'm just gathering idea's before I start ripping into it.

What exactly are you looking for?

Garage mock up

Right side

Left side

 

[Underwaterparadise]

Mainly looking at different Manifold set ups. I may end up running 2 pumps (3 if you count the CL)

The main return pump will run through the chiller back into the Display. The 2nd pump will feed, RDSB, frag tank, ca rx, po4 rx, and maybe skimmer. All though I have an extra drain from the tank that I may feed the skimmer with.

Since the RDSB, chiller and frag tank are going to sit on a stand next to the display I want as little exposed plumbing as possible.

 

[mpoletti]

Something I would of done differently is to ball valve each outlet of the manifold so I would not need to use the little valves from TLF. I know that Jim and Jeremy did it that way on their builds and I liked it a lot.

 

[Underwaterparadise]

Thanks Mark, I plan on using 1" bulkheads on each manifold outlet then reducing it down to what ever size I need.

Are you running 3 media reactors?

No I am only running two reactors. I was running some extra carbon when I was battling some diatoms last fall.

I was working on some top downs today. This is my 1st real attempt, so I'm sorry for the poor quality and ugly frags

Nice looking Pizza...

Sorry can't help it....didn't have my breakfast yet :lol:

 

[mpoletti]

There is something really cool about these patterned chalices. They are so easy to overlook, but they are still very worthy.
