Project: Elos System 120 / 79 gallon rimless

[gdm42001]

Yesterday we trimmed off 1" from the bottom of the doors and reattached the banding using Reef Glue

Installed the sump, Sand, and Water

Now that's Purdy, I don't care who you are

What is this spitting water for? Nuuze?

I stuck a piece of airline tubing into it and put the end under water to stop the splashing.

Looking sweet, Guy!

That's the siphon break to break the back flow if your return pump is off.

 

[gdm42001]

Thanks Mike, I cut the hose a little shorter so it will work. Later I will realign the elbow so it sits like yours then I can remove the tubing.

Just finished aligning and programing the Vortechs into Lagoon mode.
Nice Flow, they are all they are cracked up to be. A little better instructions would be nice though.

Time to get Busy with the Tie Wraps

 

[northbay-reefer]

dont even bother with the tie wrap, you are going to undo them latter anyway lol ... use the velcro ones, they are much easier to deal with

 

[gdm42001]

It looks a little better, like 10 lbs of **** in a 5 lb bag.....

Tom, once I find the ones I am having to cut all the time I will put some velcro ones on there.

Big white box: Vortech Battery Backup' will run both Vortech pumps for approx. 12 hours during a power outage.
Little white boxs: Vortech Wave Drivers, (The EcoTech Wirelessly communicating Wave Driver will allow your MP40w pump to wirelessly broadcast to other MP40w pumps.)
Black 8 Plug strip: Reefkeeper II, control head is on the door to the left.
Monitors, PH, controls Temp, lighting, Main pump, Skimmer.
Black 2 Plug strip: Reefkeeper II, Expansion Socket supplying main pump and skimmer

Not much color, the old tank had a bad case of OTS, 7 year old DSB
Now lets see how things color up.

I have a RK2 version 2.5
Last night I hit standby, fed and went to bed. Got up this morning, pumps not on.
pumps are on an expansion socket, on channel 6, and were set with a 2 minute delay.
I hit standby twice and the pumps came on after 2 min.
Not the first time this has happened to me, but the first time I went to bed and found it in the morning. I removed the delay this morning after finding this problem, I don't ever remember this happening prior to putting the Delay startup in.

tank is down to 74 degrees, and warming slowly.
