Re: Ryans Reef
Well I completely forgot about my cousins wedding today, so I didnt get much done today.(READ THAT AS DIDNT WORK ON THE TANK AT ALL)
Here is a shot of the two hardest line that I will have to run. Had to do these several times to get them right. Its not pretty due to the excess glue but Im hoping they work right. They look easy enough but trust me they werent.

Re: Ryans Reef
Nice. I'm interested in how you do the closed loop. Looks like you haven't got much vertical room. Would it have worked to 90 that manifold and work it from there?
I'm so jealous. I have a 90g sitting here and no money or space to set it up.

Re: Ryans Reef
The poor planning on my part is what made it a pain in the ass, RC I wish I wouldve 90ed the manifold, too late now. Cant afford to replace the bulkheads manifold and flex pipe. Piss poor planning on my part.
You dont really get a sense of how much of a lack of room you have with every thing outside of the stand, when you throw a four foot sump under there it really sucks up space. In retrospect I wish that I wouldve just used powerheads(they are still ugly as hell) Putting everything under the stand is just a pain I really am going to be completely out of room under this beast when Im done. Im going to have to build a matching stand to keep other equiptment in if I want to expand at all.

Re: Ryans Reef
Looks great so far, I can't wait to see the finished product.
Did you get that flex pipe from one of the box stores?

Re: Ryans Reef
Nope I got it at a large pool and spa store. You WONT find that at Home Depot, Lowes, Meynards, etc. Check out www.flexpvc.com also. So far I dont love the stuff though. but I havent made any long runs with it yet.
