Hustlers 300G Panzer Project (Up and Running)

[Hustler]

Well..... after a ton of PVC changes.... like 10...... an acrylic repair and a ton of beer...... Im up and running Skimmer is rocking it, bio reactor, carbon and gfo (still empty) all run off the return pump and still crazy flow in the sump....
Im very happy it isnt retarded loud but still Im fine tuning for the next month... dont judge just yet im still going to clean it all up




Whew im tired.... cant wait to have more than happy bugger clowns in ther lol

That looks great, very nice build.

The sump is operating now? I can't tell if that water is moving or not...looks like it's just sitting there. Have you checked how much it fills up if you flick all the switches off (simulated power outage)?

[Parker]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was moving, I run a dart full out through my 75 gallon sump and the water looks like it's standing still. I run a herbie drain and my skimmer doesn't produce micro bubble so there is very little air being introduced to the water stream to highlight movement.

[Hustler]

I had to raise the water an inch over the baffles or I get a typhoon of bubbles running over the last baffle and my pump eats them right up and spits out micros like crazy.
I hope to come up with a way to muffle or cut down the flow to bubble ratio over the baffles and when i get the rock and sand in there im sure it will help alot too.

Quick update,
Still getting the skimmer going propper with the plumbing but the powerheads are beasts.... bio reactor seems to be holding its own and the corals are still growing like crazy
got some fish now too.... yay

[fishytime]

Im liking the scape and the plumbing looks impressive too (no smart arse remarks from the peanut gallery)......thats a lot of bio-load in ten days.....hence the "Hustle-r" user name huh?
