is this for you cube? what size is the sump?? i just built a 20 high sump

drunktank · 08-13-2006, 12:20 AM

never got the cube, had trouble w/ the seller.

this is for my 125

tomorrow i guess i'm going to have to take out the baffles, which wont be easy b/c i put a ton of silicone on to hold it in right the first time :-X

update: took out the baffles was having trouble b/c my blade was dull- went out and got a new one, and used GE silicone 1 this time!

cleaned out the old silicone to the best of my ability, was a little haze of wut was left. glued the new ones in- waiting for it to dry in the sun tomorrow, then i'll do a wet test. Hopefully by tuesday i'll be installing it.

o btw- i opted for the tank to drain into the skimmer section first, hit 3 baffles and go into a refugium- then into the return pump. made the return section a little small b/c i wanted to max my refugium :-X

hope you will have an auto-top off because with a small return section there is a chance that the pump can run dry.
