Duke Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I like the 1450L x 750W x 700 H tank of Keven's and are going to up grade to the same size as I have the same 2 x 150MH, I am also going to use my 4 x T5 setrup (which I was ment to see to sell to pay for the 150's but I hid them instead) and are assuming this will be enough light. Comments please!! Sump 900L x 600W x 450H (Keven's new sump size) Hope he does not have a copy right on his measurments. The question is "closed Loop" I'm thinking 1 x 1260 for sump return and 1 x 1260 too supply 2 x sqiuds all in the sump and 4 x holes across the back of the tank with elbows in differnt directions. Will 1 x 1260 power two squids? Also 1 x streem in tank. Is this enough flow? I was looking at a quater up from the bottom of the tank or random in the back (2 x high, 2 x low) Also told the wife (1 week over due with small person) that I can sell my current tank and stand for $500 which will pay for the new tank and home made stand... cost $1200 from Holywood (that is what you do when you are a new salty) (4ft) so do you think I can do it? plus extra squids and pump ( hide on visa, learned from this site) :lol: all the rest I have. Will a Deltech 1250 skimmer rated at 1000L do a good job on 900L? No reactors but zeovit..... (don't stress the zeo..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 1x 1260 is no where near powerfull enough to run 2 SCWDs. I have had 1262s dedicated to them, which worked fine. The SCWD restricts the flow of the pump a great deal. My personal preference is to plumb EVERYTHING through the bottom. Strength and the practicality of getting it flush against a wall are why.

Duke Posted February 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Pies do recommend having elbows on the bottom or stright out? Do I need two 1260's ? That will mean I have three pumps in the sump... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feelers Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 On the SCWD note, many report a 40% drop in head from the pump, which is heaps!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
