Billy, I haven't checked this thread in a little but awesome job. I am watching now for more pics and progress. Great thread! PS Nice house.

[PinkEscape]

I'ts looking good! Good luck!

 

[CMcNeil]

now your getting somewhere
i bet you are itching to get that tank in place.

 

[W Ellis]

Thanks everyone. And yes i cant wait to get the tank on the stand. Progress has been a little slow lately. But i have finished rerouting all the old existing wiring and started to build the frame for the A/C duct and the light wiring. Hopefully i will have time tomorrow night to run the duct, new electric lines and RO waste line. After those are done ill be able to square up the opening and close it all up. Heres a few pics from tonight.

chrismhaase: Thank you. The house has been a 3 year project so far but its starting to get there.

[W Ellis]

forddna: Sorry i cant let her go. Its my girlfriends but i have taken her over.

That is gonna be incredible! Did you get both overflows on 1 end? What are you doing for flow, a CL?

 

[W Ellis]

The overflows will be through 3-2" bulkheads on the end. (They are drilling it to my specs.) And an overflow wall will be made out of black acrylic. Flow will be 1 Dart for return with 4 returns with eductors, 1 Tunze wavebox, and 1 Tunze 6101 or 6201. (havent decided yet.)

 

[ewgthegreat]

let me know if you need a hand lifting the tank ill help

 

[W Ellis]

Will do. I will be making a bunch of calls when it comes.

 

[Jay03GT]

I have a 6101 in my 120, and the flow is impressive. I had to turn it way down. In that size tank I'd do a 6201 as you still have the option of turning it down. Plus the wavebox will give great water movement everywhere. I'm gonna get the nano-wavebox when they are available. That is gonna be a great setup, I'm jealous!

 

[W Ellis]

Thats why i am considering the 6201. Its not that much more and the option of extra flow would be great. I cant wait to see the new nano wavebox.

This really is a dream come true tank and i have to thank my better half for letting me cut up her house.

 

[blindskater02]

Looks good man! Ill have to drop by and see it/help once I get some more free time.

Sorry I don't know to much about the darts, I know a lot of people run them but I thought they were not a pressure rated pump. Can you run eductors with them? Also does anyone now how many watts the Dart runs at and when will they be available with the better motor (baldor I believe).

 

[blindskater02]

I believe the darts max wattage to be about 155. Then depending on pressure will run lower then that.

Here is the Darts flow chart. http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~idproduct~MM1136~tab~1.html
From what i understand you dont have to have a pressure rated pump to run eductors. You wont get as much extra flow from them but they do increase the flow.
