Mojo's New Miracles build

The holes in the overflow are huge. 1.5 in drain and a 1 inch return.I will probably reduce the the drain from 1.5 to 1.25 on top and down to 1 inch under the stand. Making for a nice durso.

So how much does this affect the noise?

Also very nice tank. Are you going to be happy with this one? Or are you already planning again?
 
well with the baby coming later this year I dont think there will be another one for some time.
 
So I went and borrowed a truck from work and went and got the new tank. I couldnt let it sit there all week.

Here are the unload pics.

Nice looking tank!
 
Thanks, I had to sneak out to the garage this morning after taking the kids to school. I taped off and painted the back of the tank. LOL I got black paint on my fingers from the paint on the tape. I have some scrubbing to do before I get married later today..... Shhh.

;)
 
Well I have been really thinking about adding a Reef brite LED strip to my sunpower t5 fixture. or picking up a LED fixture to give it a shot as well.

Other things in the works.... I have been doing some research on the sedra 9000 pump and will be doing some work for all your ASM g4 owners. I ll be using a WM s200 body but will be doing a spread on how to supercharge your sedra 9000.

We will see what happends but I am hoping to pick up a new ATB 840 1.5 deluxe with special little surprise as a pump. We will see what happends here in the next month or two.The sedra make over should start next week so keep an I out for it in the DIY thread.


I will be using all the rock from my 57g plus bought some eco rock from Bulk reef Supply and have put that in the sump of the frag tank to help seed it. The phosphates did spike when I put it in there. A water change and fresh GFO took care of that.

ok ok , Doesnt look much different but I ll go snap you all a pic.

It looks great mojo, the sump is coming along nicely as well.You and My buddy KC are killing me......i need a miracle.GoodLuck and congrats on the marriage.
 
Thanks tomorrow is another big day, drill the holes for the overflow in the stand and I am hoping tomorrow evening water starts going in.
 
Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey you run a filter sock correct? I may try them again to help ease the sump maintenance. How often in your experience do you have to change them out?
I think you said you run the 7" ones. Does the bigger size help at all?

I had been running the 4 in model on the 57g. I would have to change it out about every 5 days.I would just let 3 get dirty then wash them. I think these will go every 2 weeks before changing. I have 5 socks to get me started....
The bigger size does help in frequency for sure.
 
thanks sunny.

Well sump holds water. lol thats good. let it sit over night full. No leaks !

Have to run back to hardware and get some more plumbing as I want ot have it ready to go when my help gets here later tonight. Durso for the drain is done. But I am out of 1" pvc. of all things I thought I would have.
Well I have about 45 min worth of work on the stand and then I cant do anymore until I start tearing down my other tank. I will start that here in another hour or so. Ill get some pics as well I amjus taking a quick break.

Ok I had a rock the had a hitchhiker on and I could never get it. Some type of worm I Eunicids I believe. So I took the rock out and broke it up t get it out. It was almost 16 inches all wrapped up in the rock....
