Steve's 480g upgrade

[kar93]

Maybe you could bring your crew over to me, im not getting much love

I don't like that Tunze box. I'd rather build a false wall. That box requires the Tunze to stick out too far, still. I think it serves only *half* the purpose - i.e to hide the Tunze. you're only hiding half of that PH

kar - be careful what you ask for! not much advice comes from our crew we blab!

[tbone28]

[kar93]

[tbone28]

Bart, I'm surprised you haven't come across that thread yet. It's one of most well-thought out and executed builds I've come across in a long time

Hello Tbone28,
Very designed wall! Not loud, there is not resonance the pump and between the wall? You get at it easily the you have to clean it? I give a thought to it, if you clean the rotor or the grid. Or you take out all of the pump?

Peter - that false wall is not from my tank. You can PM Bricky with questions. I have just been following his build thread

Steve - Is that the Elos skimmer?? Big Daddy is FAT! Looks like you're back from shopping! What's the damage? Hey, did you see my earlier post on modding your 6201s?

 

[Jar*Head]

Yeah, took me an hr to read all your post. I told my wife that i got T-boned and she has no clued what im talking about.... The damage isn't bad. I just took her car out for maintenance and realize all 4 tires is worn out. Guess how much that will cost for 4 tires, labor, alignment, oil change and such...

 

[tbone28]

haha, now she thinks you guys are having t-bone steak for dinner!

That is my custom skimmer body with 2 eheim 1260 from H&S. The Elos still with it original owner... Don't know if he is going to give it up

 

[tbone28]

custom designed skimmer? wow. I thought that base looked different. Never seen anything like that before. You came up with the design?

Yeah, i try to copy the BK design. I didn't make the skimmer myself. It work very well with the 2 H&S pumps. Here is some more picture
