Biff,
It looks like Neal does some pretty good work there. Maybe you should design a few stands for the industry,Good way to pay for live rock,fish,corals,and random ebay crap.

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

have you thought of the tunze nano's instead of koralia's? don't get me wrong, i'm a hydor fan. i have 2 of them in my tank. but, for like 5 or ten bucks more than what the #4's cost you can get tunze nano's. and you'll only need 2 of them!

WOW you know what though? Knowing what old wood looks like, the natural wood with a little bit of varnish would have looked really nice. Like an old peice of antique furtiture thats lasted forever. Im a fan of black actually so it looks nice. I dont know what the last owner was thinking but you have some taste! Good job on RODI and i hope you can pay for this some other way than drug dealin. Let me know so i can tell the christmas shops that (somehow) stay open year round.

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

No closed loop yet. I don't know how to do it. Eventually I will learn how to do a closed loop and my own auto top off. But that's just too much learnin' for now!

And Yote, ya Neal is a hard worker. And what's nice is that now he can't bug me about the money I'm spending on this tank!!!

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

I'm going to use my current skimmer (Aqua C Remora Pro) for now. I'll upgrade to an in-sump skimmer later on down the road.

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

closed loop is really easy to set up if your tank is drilled for it. all you need is one hole and the rest is cake

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

hopefully this makes sense cause I'm pounding this out on the freeway on my phone but you need one hole in the back then pipe it to a external water pump you mount under your stand, then pipe it back to your tank and split it off to 2 pipes on either side or however you want it.
