bumpiditi bump - I know there's gotta be more 180s out there

heres my 180

i am guna add more rock soon and try to make room for more sps i just added another light to the tank to allow me to have sps at the edges of the tank.....

murphreef...are you happy with the dart and the 4 way combination...im looking to do the same - 4 returns in each corner of the tank.

 

[murphreef]

im happy with it but as u can see i added a few more seios to help the flow out.... i added a 1500 and 820....

the dart works well with the OM 4way and creates an awesome random flow in the tank....

but i still wanted more flow so i added the seios....

if i were to do it again id probably go tunzee's on a controller with some sea swirls on the sump return

the Dart eats up more electricity then tunzee's on a controller but its a great pump virtually silent and pushes alot of water....

try to use 2- 1.5" drains to T to a 2" pipe in to the intake of the Dart this will help it suck more water i used 2-1" drains and T'd to a 2" pipe but i guess the 2-1" drains wont be able to pull enough water as the pump can do

just a lil FYI

 

[Gooli]

cool...thanks
i am doing 2x1.5" intakes.
i hear good things about the tunzes...but i want minimum intrusions in the tank.

did you connect the om 4 way right on top of the dart?

 

[murphreef]

mine goes 2-1" intakes in the back t'd up to a 2" pipe then straight down to the Dart then straight back up to the top of the tank where the OM4 way sits above the overflow box then it seperates to its 4 returns....

heres a lil pic for help on the top

sweet justin...good job and a great looking tank!

i forgot to mention...im also gonna be running a 2nd closed loop with a eheim 1262 (already in my posession)...going to a 3/4" seaswirl (already in my posession)..so i think i'll have the flow covered all around.

and...since im getting hammered on having the rio return pump - i might upgrade that too to a eheim 1260 for the return.

 

[murphreef]

thanks

yeah i run an panworld 100px-x as my return pump and it does a nice job keeping up with the overflow

sounds like ull have a nice setup

I like the shelves, lot of place to put corals.

Hard to keep up with this hobby!! LOL
Hey Mike, your 180 is looking sweet! Your other tank must have been crowded, looks like the 180 is already stocked well.
