Paul is amazing - wish I was THAT close to OM !! I'm stil waiting for my Onmi dual flex to arrived from Canada

Hey Ed, glad to see you are back on board and subscribed again! What an experience it was to spend a couple hours with Paul! What he shared with us in that short time would take me weeks to research online! All I can say is the guy is a genius and great person for extending his knowledge and time to helping me maximize the productivity of their systems flow. I am excited to get the water pumping through my tank now!

The tank is not 320g. It about 226g

Tim's system is 320g with the sump. Also with the inline frag tank you can add another 40g

I'm pleased I could help, I wish more would ask questions earlier than later, may as well do it right the first time.

Thanx for dropping by guys.

Fish Room/Reef Submarine

Fish Room/Reef Submarine

Allright guys, here is the final touch to the fish room! Throughout the entire duration of construction of the fish room I was continually thinking of doing something to add a little character to my fish room. Well after much thought, I finally had a vision of the fish room I wanted built. It was to resemble a chamber of some sort. I ran with the idea and basically ended up with this:

The construction of this included steel panels and trim pieces that were primed, painted and rivetted.

Decided to include an open port hole to allow some air circulation into the fish room:

Thanks man, I really wanted to do something different and I thought this enhance the whole marine feel.

very awesome and unique idea

Yup, that was Tim's final touch for the fish room! It looks awesome in person! Let me tell you. Like a underwater submarine!

We are plumbing the system next weekend, and it will be up and running with water and rock!

No security code to visit your sump room??

I'd like to see some pics of how you did that. Where did you get the wheel thing etc?

It looks like a stainless boat steering wheel that you could pick-up from a boat supply store (West Marine, etc.).

Again, that's hilarious Tim! :lol: :lolspin:
