Yep 100% with you on that I would of loved to show off your amazing handy work and it is so annoying I have had to wreck our ceiling by two hangers, but the damn soil pipe from the upstairs front bathroom is slap bang in line with the center of the tank along with the two hot and cold feeds :( I was not going to risk murphys law and guarantee hitting one when I went to bolt the steel bracket :(

But one thing is for sure if anyone needs a wall bracket for their Mitras or other LED's talk to Greg or martin and Modular LED these units a re awesome.

Its a trickle feed rubble DSB.

To explain the secondary bio chamber better -

Buried Under the rubble at one end is a small flow pump, this creates turbulance and flow through the rock as well as keeping it free of gunk.

The other end where flow is limited is the DSB.

The carbon and GFO returns into this secondary stage which is the water feed for this area at a low flow rate, so the water is circulated many times before re-entering the system.

There is a small weir to the rear of the sump where the water is returned to the main sump

you've got to be the only person using vortech shrouds to prop their skimmer up LOL. ballin'!

Aqua-Digital 03-20-2013 09:33 PM

:lol: these are from old wet sides we accumulate. good recycling!

Trouble is they move about so will have to think of something more inventive.

One thing I would like to mention is the ATO and how it is direct feed from a solenoid.

BE VERY CAREFUL here, if you install them the wrong way round they will not work for long, jam open and flood your system, mine came with a red mark on the feed side, if your does not, please ask the supplier.

I will be fitting a secondary higher level mechanical ball **** (Oh please!! the word C-ock is not aloud! ref **** Ball Co-ck there ive said it!) supplied by Bubble Magus as a get out of jail card also.

With your dosing system Michael, can the Profilux doser actually pull fluids up that distance? I know the holding containers should never be above the doser but that seem like a long ways to draw. I only ask for reference to when I get around to setting mine up.

Aqua-Digital 03-20-2013 11:39 PM

The GHL doser can pump (tested) up to 50' :biggrin:

I'm running an MP-40 on the back of my Concepts tank with no issue. I also have an acrylic background and the tank is 3/8" glass. I'm not using the spacer, only the sticky rubber pad. How are you trying to run it?

Anyways, looks awesome. I like the Profilux touch mounted on the wall. I'm still amazed a single Mitras covers a tank that size.
