Starting the STARS frag tank

If it comes down to it and Coralvue doesnt have it then I can take the adaper of and use a piece of flex tube. They should have it since the Super reef octopus 2000 is the octopus NWB150 with a bubble blaster. Jeremy from coralvue had told me there would be no problem so I bet they have the part, they are just gonna make me bend over for it
If they charge for the part, lmk. I will buy it. Just send me the info on it or i can paypal over the funds. Which ever way is easier bro.
 
I just ordered the part, the guy Jeremy online is giving me the run around so I called directly and the lady that I talked to said they had it and she is shipping it today. Hopefully it tis the right part.
 
I just had to get the grey threaded adapter on the bubble blaster 2000. If I take the adapter off then the clear threading on the pump is smaller than the intake of the skimmer
 
Well It took a little bit of work but We have created a Monster! We have turned an Octopus NWB 150 and turned it into an Super Reef Octopus 2000.

Jay, Sorry I havent contacted you on picking up the sump. If you could bring it to the meeting next week that would really be awsome.
(also if you still have the plumbing that would be nice too)
If anyone is headed that way with a truck or a vehicle this will fit in let me know! It will not fit in my civic! :(

no updates as of yet, but now that Andy is offering to host the meeting, that will give use the opportunity take all of the materials on hand and start work on the tank
 
oh yeah! there are updates, I got a power head from Shaun.
I also got around to picking up the sump from Jay.

The sump skimmer slot is perfect for the skimmer. the Skimmer is currently running in the sump in my balcony. I will post pics once I get home from school.

once again thanks to everyone who has contributed to the frag tank. Ill try to get with Andy this week to see if we can start building the sump
 
its in the sump and your gonna start building the sump ???

What are you talking about dude? you saw the sump yesterday. its already build, we were just concerned about it not fitting in the skimmer slot.

here are some pics of the sump with the skimmer running. I am making an egg crate stand to lift the skimmer up about 2in so it can run at the proper water level
