Grav September 14, 2007 Share September 14, 2007 Just found this thread. What a kick. The Home Depot pics are killer. When are we going to see a picture with water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason the filter freak September 14, 2007 Share September 14, 2007 1) any updated top-down shots of the freaked out closed loop stuper J is building? Would be nice to see update to comment on pump needed for it. 2) is it going to rest on top of tank and braces or going on bottom of tank (inside). 3) where is inlet from tank to closed loop pump going to be placed? The pump is going to be a little giant 1300 gph-ish or pan world 1700 gph-ish will start testing soon the part you see completed is going to be buried underground in the tank, the top manifolds will be suspended from the inside rim of the tank the inlet has been drilled though the over flow box and will be fed via a 2" bulk head BONUS: Here's a fun preview of the scwd that will be running the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davelin315 September 15, 2007 Share September 15, 2007 I was surfing the threads while my youngest, 2 1/2 years old, was watching TV. She enjoyed all of the pictures and avatars but then when she saw the Amphiprion jasonicus (Jason's clownfish) in your signature line she kept on saying "That one's broken! That fishy's broken!"

bigJPDC September 17, 2007 Share September 17, 2007 (edited) how are you going to attach it to the cpvc? what are you using for 'netting'? I'm kinda interested in this project because I use eggcrate now with sections that I remove for feeding, and if you are using some type of plastic screening I could just pour my food right through it. I've always stopped a solution like this because I couldn't see how to do splining with a compound structure like you have there to get around the overflow and other plumbing. good luck, jp Edited September 17, 2007 by bigJPDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbartco September 17, 2007 Share September 17, 2007 netting for koi ponds (see jason's wtb thread for it). Zip ties would work fine to attach it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdavidw September 17, 2007 Share September 17, 2007 Any plans to test out the RoboSCWD soon? I have two that I want to convert to 1" and wanted to see how yours worked out 1st. Thanks for the info guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexicanjavafish September 18, 2007 Author Share September 18, 2007 oki soooo to answer a few things all at once: -dbartco is right about the netting--we're most likely using the netting for koi ponds, and yes, the zipties are what we're going to use to attach it to the frame -we plan to finish building the top two manifolds, setting up my tank and running the roboSCWD probably within the next two weeks if both of our schedules allow it (BTW all i need now for my tank are the lights and just a bit more sand, then i'm set up !) -anything else i missed?

Thanks for the info guys. Yes robo scwd has passed testing and is ready for an install it has worked great with 500 gph flow through about (19 seconds for switch time), I'm going to try to test it in the comming days for 1300 gph flow though just to see what it can handle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexicanjavafish October 13, 2007 Author Share October 13, 2007 :bump: It's been forever since I've updated, but I've been very busy since school started and since I've been working more hours....life's a bit stressful sometimes!!! Luckily, we found a Saturday to drop everything and get away for the day--and escape to the aquarium I unfortunately don't have any tank updates, we're still pretty behind, just on setting it up though....anyway to pass the time and bump my thread I thought I'd share the pics from the aquarium (points if you can spot the fish in that one!) (I'm terrified of eels, btw. Except for the little ones...) That's all for now--if I don't have an actual TANK update soon, I'm going to go INSANE. I would really rather not go anymore insane than I probably already am, so an update should be soon! (I hope!) Ps) EXTRA points if anyone can tell me anything they notice that seems to be different about a certain filter freak.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You let that chick know that your the boss and that what you say goes and...... .....Ok, my wife says I have to say that I'm sorry and that it's nice that you cut your hair for that nice young lady and that it is sweet that you would do something so nice for her.

mexicanjavafish October 14, 2007 Author Share October 14, 2007 LOL.......Points to xCGx for being the first one! But hey, you guys want to know a secret? I'm not the one who told him to cut his hair....I mean I kept saying every now and then that maybe he needed to...but he chose to get it cut on his own! He showed up to my house one day with his new hair cut and I was literally in S H O C K for about 5 minutes (I liked the head over heels comment, it was cute...... :wink: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
