Man looks like the water level is to high. mayeb you should open up the slots on the overflow to keep up with the flow of the pump. As the slots become cloged in time you may have a problem.

I've been quietly following this thread from the beginning and always look forward to the updates. I can honestly say it was worth the wait. The setup looks great and should make for an awesome display.
Congrats.

Thanks REEF!
I was finally able to position the Tunze's were they dont cause a sand storm.. I also fired up my 9005 skimmer and waiting for it to settle in. Now, i am already thinking about the Ca. Reactor..

The peeps at Tunze and AquaMedic for making some of the best equipment. You keep making it..ill keep buying it
Digital Aquatics for their top of the line controllers. I am in love with my RKll.. You guys put the world "stylish" in the hobby. Thanks!!
Pete at SAWOODWORKS.com 100% talent and dedication, thanks for building my stand
Ace (HOBOGATO): Thanks for putting up with my "uh oh's".. Your time and talent is what makes this system be able to run. Thanks!

Uncle Rog, your craftsmanship is what made all of this possible.. thanks a million!! After all that jack we were able to get it going..

Leonardo,
Im hoping HOBOGATO will build a Ca. reactor suitable for my system, its roughly 100 gal. including the sump. So nothing too big..

I haven't used a Reeflux yet (maybe my next bulb replacement) but they're getting some nice reviews lately. I can't wait to try it and see what the rave is all about. BTW, here's a TOTM using Reeflux 12K's

Acroporanut is using the 400W's, and they are defintely a lot stonger. They have a PPFD in the 120's depending on ballast. But, for the 250W version, they just don't compare to other 250's. Check out Sanjay's page before jumping on the bandwagon. http://www.reeflightinginfo.arvixe.com/
Not saying that 250W Reeflux's suck or anything, just saying they aren't THAT strong. Personally, I've never used them either, but, it is for the merre reason that the numbers don't hold up....
