COELACANTH - THE ULTIMATE RECYCLER Motto - if they die, we'll give them a fry

A big thank you to Reef he has supplied us with enough coral rock and rubble to fill a 200 litre filter, also topped up 3 marine sumps as well once again THANKS

new fish in our big pool after waiting for 5 months for the pool to cycle, we have started stocking it added over the last 3 weeks 6 spotty's 1 sweep 2 sprats 4 kawhai - 2 at 50cms it has been trial and error with this pool, fish are doing well so far

my wife won't eat anything that is a pet, ie: has a name i don't like to waste anything, it takes all sorts to make our lovely world go round

shades of the piltdown man, coelacanth

me too on the aro meal - 80 cm at $80 per fillet best one was when one of my crayfish died had him from a transparent shrimp til he was about .75kg what else have you had?

we have to feed the animals too so may as well be open cruisy day though went fishing tonight and got some kawhai for the big pool

so your actually working for yourself then? i is working too only 4 lots of customers though merry xmas gannet and everyone else on here today

you could put him in a rabbit hutch while your at home just for a few hours on a regular basis

doesnt suck air as it stops at the waterlevel so long as the out pipe in overflow box is same height as the tank waterlevel i need to correct diagram i use 32mm or bigger pipe

i put the return pipe from sump into the pipe to fill at the start from then on it runs automatically

so long as you fill the bent pipe that goes into tank to start it will work automatically at start of power during power cut the bent pipe always remains full of water as both ends are in the water the one i run has the pipe going to sump from the hang on box at the same height as the tank water level this ensures the pipes are always full as the sump pump starts back up it automatically flows into tube in tank and starts the process again

diagram of overflow you need to fill bent pipe to start it we use 32mm pipe and elbows to give good flow out box on side can be plastic jug with handle hung on side of tank to sump can be glued or pipe fitting i think i have pic right size if not please let me know

we have one we made on saltwater tank made from 32mm pvc pipe will see if i can get photo for you cost 20 dollars from plumbers outlet

well done david

as evil said works with our guppies

now have 10 moths they live for 2 weeks and don't feed just breed

the answer would be in the affirmative to that one

now your getting tricky that is a water level float to shut down flow when water level in sump too low you could fil;l sump with water and pump up to a bucket to see how the whole thing works check pipe ends and see what fits the best on which pumps

nice looking unit

the one in the middle of photo looks like return pump one on left has clamp to fit on tank lip
