motti February 27, 2014 Author Share February 27, 2014 (edited) They don't deal with those jebao pumps, they said the waveline I-ring doesn't fit. I've decided to go ahead and place the pump in the mixing tank, I think I'll be sleeping better at night knowing that it won't leak. However had to get some extra plumbing parts te to make It work The livestock move was a success, didn't lose any thing. Here is the frag tank being used as holding tank until I get the other tank set. Also got around 30lb of pukani dry rock and direct ocean live sand (regular) for the refugium. Once I get the return pump from the jebao group buy I'll be able to fill it up with water Edited February 27, 2014 by motti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YHSublime March 2, 2014 Share March 2, 2014 It looks really good! I'd love to see a picture from the front. I wasn't a big fan of the top doors at first, but it looks like they came out really nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible Corals March 2, 2014 Share March 2, 2014 It's amazing watch these things come together. I remember putting panels on it at the store and now it's ready to get filled up. You could leave it empty and it still look impressive . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtFully Acrylic (Adam B) March 6, 2014 Share March 6, 2014 Looking great Motti! Glad to see that you put as much pride in the continuation of the build as we did in the acrylics end of it =). I'm still excited to see how your own controller system comes together on this one! But most of all....the aquascape and seeing coral and fishy swimming around in that ArtFully Acrylic Beauty =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But most of all....the aquascape and seeing coral and fishy swimming around in that ArtFully Acrylic Beauty =PThank you both, I am grad to be done with the construction. Really took longer and more expensive than what I planned for. But I think it came out really nice.As for the controller, l've set up a server to run the aquarium. And currently doing some tests to make sure it run smoothly. Set up a basic page that currently just show the camera for the room. Going to add password protection and have a guest panel and an admin panel.Http://fish.mottihoresh.name/index.html Wow, looks great. That frag tank looks like it's going to burst.Thanks, it's being used as holding tank at the moment, once I get the rock and sand and finish cycling the main tank everything will go in there after a dip.

motti March 23, 2014 Author Share March 23, 2014 T Dry rock arrived while I was in San Diego just unpacked the boxes and it looks good. I really wish bRS would put less packing peanuts. It's a mess cleaning those up... Here some pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motti March 23, 2014 Author Share March 23, 2014 Seems like theASM G5 skimmer won't work for me, i am not sure how to adjust it, and it's a little too noisy. anyone have experience with those skimmers? i tried running it just now, and it would keep on overflowing even when i lower the water return all the way down.

smallreef March 23, 2014 Share March 23, 2014 Are you running it in older saltwater?(it really doesn't like new saltwater or fresh) And if its similar to my 2x then the only real control is the standpipe...up or down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was the fresh salt water, I was really panicking yesterday , not it seems to be working good, added a 1.5" pvc tee and some extra piping to silence the thing, the water noise was unbearable. I will most likely order another gate valve, and make mod it to have a gate valve, makes much more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Kim mentioned, NSW doesn't seem to have quite the affect on skimmers as some of that older stuff. BTW, is the skimmer new, are you breaking it in? It took me about 7 days to break in my Avast. I also am a huge fan of the gave valves, adjusting up and down seems like it can get knocked about easily, and is IMO really hard to keep constant (especially if you're always rooting through your sump, like I am.)

I got it used from someone on reef central a year ago. Maybe it needed some time to break in too. Anyhow glad it's working and I don't have to get another one now I can peacefully work on the aquascaping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
