JDM Posted November 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Its running!!!! This has been a very long 24hours, but like all things in reefing, good things take time, the truth is i finished at 6pm tonight, and then when and burnt $400 worth of fireworks, quite impressed, took 2 of us over 2 hrs to let them all off, nothing quite like a good firework! (pyro :lol: ) Anyway back on track.... I used a t piece in the return and fitted a ball valve as a type of bleed off system, i am OK with how it is running at the moment but i still cant seem to get the flow i had in the old sump, i think this is because the sump is now 500mm higher so gravity has less pressure????? It is all setup and running, skimmer in, ca reactor hooked up and going, heaters and controller hooked up, auto top off setup but i need to get a plug adaptor to power it. I installed a power point for the sump wiring, and have two 6 way independently switched multiboards to run all the gear, i am glad i went through the wall, it will take a while to fine tune everything but at least i have plenty of spare space and the ease of access to my equipment will make it much better in all respects. As far as adding another hole to the over flow, this did cross my mind, but i will play around with the current set up for a few weeks and decide from there if I'm happy with the flow I'm getting or if another bulk head is required. Thankyou all for your help and input into this project , i will post some photos soon for all to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
