My New 120!!!

[Skimmerking]

Nice looking tank there Nanoreef. Why not get one of the old tank from Jamie's store for a sump.
When i had my 280 going I used a 45 gallon rubbermaid tub its easy to use and drill into, But if you start getting micro bubbles like i did it hard to get rid of. Give Dan out in Shilo a call he will make you a sump for a round 30 bucks if that. ANd if you are planning on getting a topp off thur a RO unit its easier again to drill thou plastic.

Pop over to my house and take a look at my 170 that i have going with the sump setup to get a few idea's are you going to put this inwall or on a stand in the house.

If you are making a canopy think about having the unit sitting on top of the canop y so your canopy don't heat up .

do you know if my pump will drain my sump mike?

-Ok this is how the tank will run you are going to fill the tank complete including the overflows.

-Then you will have your sump all plumbed and fill that to a certain point where you want it to be say 10" high.

-Then what you can do is have the return pipe plumbed and then you can either have it going full flow with durso pipes on the overflow pipe i find the durso's allow i little bit more flow IMO.

- Then you can either tee off the mag back to the sump with a ball valve.

that is what i would do...

the pump will probably be to strong unless you tee it off ..


AND no it will not drain your sump .

call me and i will explain it to you ok.

if you dont tee if off, u will probably get a sucking noise.
