[Rizing]

need some stuff

need some stuff

hey guys thought id ask here first, if anyone had any of the following things they arent in need of

CO2 regulator,needle valve,solenoid
calcium reactor if the price is right
ph controller/monitor
external pump at around 500 600 gph
fuge light
glass drill bits to borrow
patience


im patiently waiting on my OM 4 way to get this baby setup, driving me crazy having no water in it.

did you get that frag tank up in place of the 75 yet fdfire?

I might have a pH monitor. I use a ReefKeeper now and don't really need it. Let me look.

I just ordered a glass drill bit and I will be configuring my sump with a 1 inch bulkhead for an external Genx 70hp. Thus I will have my OceanRunner 3500 internal/external pump, check valve, ball valve, flexible tubing, SCWD, 600 gph overflow, and a 45 mm bit with one hole under its belt. The OceanRunner is rated at 900 gph. However, after you figure out all the elbows, checkvalve,ball valve, head height, SCWD etc... It never did overflow my 600gph overflow. It pushed it but matched well.

I ordered my bit from ebay and some locline for my new eductors from salty critter this week. I'll more than likely complete my project in the next few weeks if you care to wait for the above equipment. I normally sell stuff for 40% to 60% of new cost. I take care of my stuff.

I have the cheap diamond bit from e-bay for a 3/4" and 1" bulkheads. The 1" bit was used on 4 holes and should have some more life in it for a few more holes. You can borrow if you would like. I'm in Twinsburg not far from 480.

Let me know
Phil

fade2black dont cringe at this photo bro =)

Welcome to 2024,=) kid must have messed with the camera or something
tank is gonna be a monster
a very crappy shot cant see much 16' of 2x4 in the corners =ridgid
( and heavy)

ahh well ill get some better ones another time. hmm the ocean runner vibrate like a mag?
id like an external pump to drive accessories off return
coupla things i forgot was a scwd and the glass drill bit for 3/4 holes
i do need a good glasss or acrylic fuge like a 20 long or something. drilling some small tank like that might be a pain though. any one have any ideas?

Looks like it will be a sweet tank. What kind of light is that? Dan.

150 de coralife MH aqualight. tank was kind of built to fit the light.

 

[Kreeger1]

One light or 2?

 

[Rizing]

ya theres 2, each should cover 1/2 of the tank (2x2). anyone know how much cut glass usually is? like for average sump baffles. know anywhere cheap?

 

[Kreeger1]
