The LAST big upgrade

michika · #1 08-15-2009, 03:04 PM

We're actually thinking of upgrading to a hammerhead pump. Plus I'm concerned that in the future I'll have to up the flow and I don't want to be held back by the drains. You're right though, we could could with 1.5" drains and probably be safe for years to come. We haven't really finalized anything yet so there is still the option of going with 1.5".

Its done! We're now just working out a mutually agreeable delivery date! If you need a stand definitely go see Francis! Awesome to work with, and you definitely can't beat the price!

We ended up telling Francis to "surprise us". I couldn't pick one colour alone!

I wish it was here already...I hate waiting!

We got our quotes back on the tank and now we're just working with them and deciding which direction to go with.

I want my new tank to be here and to be up and running!

The Hammerheads a pretty big return pump? What about going with a smaller return pump through some wavey seas to randomized some flow and saving the hammerhead to run the 4-way?

I've honestly never thought of that option. I do however know that I hate powerheads in the tank so I just ignored the idea of Wavy Seas. I'll go back and take another look though, as it might be worth the change.

I'm going to visit the Land of Seagulls (the city dump) again this weekend. We're trying to make a huge push to get all the construction debris out of the house by the end of September, before any ice or snow is on the ground.

I also treated myself to a "congrats your contract got extended gift", and bought myself a photobox from Melev's site. I love the floater box too, but I had to choose only one.
