Cool foxface!!

oh god you made a hash of that. I try to preview before posting photo posts. :lol: :lol: 8)

hahaha its too cool for skool!!

25cm above water seems about average.

Oh no, they struck :-?

They are all good, just get a 'marine bulb' from your lfs.

Sounds good other than that. Here is an old thread about a starters tank. http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/1-vt12600.html?start=0

IMO I would go with a HOB skimmer instead of the filter if you can afford one, your rock will do the filters job

Check out this post got a handy resizer tool link attached. Mods are coming.... :lol: :lol:

What sort of flow are you going for? Have you got multiple outlets?

Agreed he is really good value!

What fish are in there?

The smaller the tank the more unstable it is going to be.

There are alot of cool ideas on that site which I have pinched. I guess going so small you need to be more ingenious!!

That skimmer makes a mockery of the APF600 How much noise did the APF600 put out? Did it do a good job compared to the 902? Can't wait for my 600 :lol: :lol:

What lights are you running?

"Pics, Pics, Pics, He's gona to do one!!!!"

I would like to run the skimmer off the overflow, but I'm going to run a full syphon which I don't think would like being attached to a skimmer. Skimmers are very turbulent machines and would not have a constant back pressure. Full siphons are sensitive enough without tring to add in these factors.

Greg Kingston (tanks2u) made the tanks. A really excellent job every thing is to spec. Good price aswell . Yeah havn't thought plumbing through much yet, waiting for cabinet to see the most effective way.

Thanks, thats not always a good thing designing your own :lol: :lol: . I'm have yet to put any equipment in or plumbing. There could be some design flaws waiting to pop out. But really happy with the tanks. You can check out the prototype designs in my gallery (not pretty )

Hello, my name is Kyle(son of Rossco). Currently studing engineering at Waikato University, and have found an excess 4 foot of space in my bedroom (took some time and effort to find this in my small flat ) So I'm gathering all the equipement at the moment. Here are the tanks: MAIN TANK: 1200Wide x 600Deep x 700High Corner overflow with two 32mm bulkheads. (1 full siphon and 1 emergency) Closed loop with a 32mm intake and 2x25mm outputs used to create flow under rockwork. SUMP: 700Wide x 500Deep x 450High Here is the main idea behind the design Here it is!! Will keep you posted as I progress through the build! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Check out Myth 15, explains some good ideas. You should use his method as you have time on your hands, not like the rest of us who want the tank full of fish yesterday. :lol: http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-01/eb/index.php
