Worm's 180 build

[worm5406]

Opened a ticket with Coralvue. About how some places say the otp3000 is a 750 gal pump and some places say it is not.

I got a reply that said they are 250 pumps. OK... That answers some questions.

The same ticket I asked about the feed pump I have running.

They forgot to answer that question.

OK Well I called CoralVue. I asked for the same tech that answered me.

He did not read down enough, which is fine, so I read him my other questions:

otp pump: The pump (in RO documentation) states that it run 750 gph. On the coralvue page it shows the otp3000 runs 250gph. Replacement pumps show it at 750 sometimes and 250 others. What is the correct pump/flow that I would have gotten when I got the ddnw250? Can you check your own pages to ensure it is listed correctly.

otp pump: On startup I hear the impeller(bubble blaster?) rattle around until it gets in sync. Is this normal? I have taken the pumps apart and ther are no broken teeth and no bent shaft. It normally synchs and runs smooth within 30 seconds. During this time the air inlet tube below slicencer fluxuates with water going up and down, once it pulls the air all the way down it gets in sync and is silent.

ddnw: I misread and have been running a 700 gph feed pump to it. I have been getting skim since day one. What is the correct input feed? 250?

So the impeller is working correctly it will make noise until the venturi gets pulled and is sucking air not water.

The 700 feed pump.. HAHAHA... "What?? 700? I have never heard that before, I am not going to tell you to stop something that is working, but you might want to slow it down some"

OK ... so.. On to what is going to be in the 120...

IDK yet.... hahahahaha

I was thinking of BB with a teared egg crate with the highest point in the middle... Visible on three sides.

I am not making a frag farm... but want to be able to show off/grow out some of them...

Then I was thinking of an ampi theater/bleacher look, on the non visible side. This would make it a smaller place to growout and give me the ability to raise/lower as aclimation needed.

If I did this though, what would be a good 'picker' type fish for/of bad stuff and all?

Ideas?

hello??

OOps I have to post it first to get a reply.. LOL




For those watching the camera I did hydrogen peroxide dip on the frags on the left side of the tank. So there are some bubbles on some and less algae.

If you are going to use a maintenance fish I'd suggest the yellow or blue eyed kole tangs. If for flatworms then springer damsels or azure damsels.

Just got caught up. Great pics and vids.

Quick question, what candy cane is that in the third-to-last picture on page 16?

Thanks.

 

[worm5406]

Page 16?? I only have 8 pages... What post number?

OR "quote" the post and show me.

Thanks!!

 

[worm5406]

I do not know the name of that particular CandyCane.

That was a freebee when I ordered stuff from Hawaii. I did not even know I was getting it until it came in. It was just listed as freebee. I also got a toadstool as a freebee.

This isn't a build thread, but Worms "Days of our Lives" thread...

Well yesterday did some tank maintenance. The tank looks better. I took and placed some coral/polyp off the rack onto some rock. Lets see how the flow and fish like it.

 

[worm5406]

I'm a chemist. I could get creative.

Just kidding, of course. Been together about 27 years. But, I'm hoping that she gets a little more understanding about this entire project. The promised kitchen renovation in the future should go a long way to help rectify the situation.

So... how is your build coming along??

 

[owenspackman]

hey worm, any photos of the frags in their new homes? I was planning on doing the same this weekend!

 

[worm5406]

OK Finally uploaded the video.

It kept stopping.

I mean it was large, but not the largest one I have put up.

Enjoy

I am leaving today to go to NC to drop off the 10yo to gandmom's for the summer. I'll be back on Sunday.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!
