ghostface Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Reefs Durso is absolutely silent. they are pretty quiet, but there must be some noise generated by the air gettin sucked in.... alot of the noise from my durso was the water entering the sump, if you have a sumproom this is where most of the noise will be. mine is under the display, so was noisy as Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP Posted July 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Got back for my holiday on Monday. Have moved the tank into my flat and have started to reassemble it, this building is hard work . Siliconing the bulkheads and pipework. My next big project is creating a structure for the rock to sit and joining rocks for aquascaping. Eggcrate with pvc pipe legs seams to be the norm. I have quite a few large rocks so was planning to break them up then drill holes in the rock and insert acrylic rods to make more intriguing shapes. My main theme is a diagonal valley running across the center of the tank. Any handy hints on aquascaping or related topics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lduncan Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Looking good. What's the rock in the sump for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP Posted July 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Thanks guys Rock is for extra filtration :-? :-? By the way that isn't my final rocklayout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 You don't need it Personally I'd get rid of it. Just a place for crap to accumulate, and difficult to clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 its just like cooking rocks but in your main system. i have the same thing in my sump, i sucked out a HEAP of crap sitting on the bottom of the tank that was shed from those rocks. its clean as now, and i have left it there ready for use later when i get around to the upgrade. still, it should add somewhat to biological filtration surely?

lduncan Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Well I think it's just more bioload. You actually don't need a lot of rock to get all the required biological filtration you need. Anything more is just bioload which needs to support itself. Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suphew Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 funny thing I have some rock in storage in my sump just till it finds a new home and it is far cleaner looking than the rock in my display, no algae, good coraline growth. It has a light on it at night because of the leathers mushies etc growing on it so its not because of the keeping it in the dark. Theres no sand in the sump and is in the display but I ran the display BB for 4-5 months before adding 1cm of sand and the rocks look the same either way.

KP Posted July 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 I'm also planning to run the tank BB for a while until it stablises a bit, then add asthetic sand. Can't wait to get some more water the halides are shining everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KP Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 yeah it full now. Just letting it settle down a bit and get the rock cranking again. Got a couple of test subjects in there today and putting my fish batch of fish in next week. Still got to get some decent aquascaping done and soundproofing my cabinet :lol: :lol: Chuck a couple of pics up if I find a camera lying around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
