I Got Civics In My Tank...BlueSi4's Tale of The 75RR - Page 3

BlueSi4 · 02-27-2008, 07:56 PM

Been working on the canopy for a couple days now. For now i'm going to be using 2-175W Metal Halides (XM 20,000k).

Here's a pic of the canopy while it's being painted...

Made my way to Wonderful World of Fish today, came back home with a Kole Tang.

Sump will be working tonight, the MH canopy is close on being finished.

March 5th UPDATE

Canopy is done, finally. I just have to find a way to mount it in the tank and i will be all set.

The sump is working but i have that flushing noise that i've read about, i will try to make the hole on the intake a bit bigger and we'll see what happens.

Here's a couple pictures:

and my new coral

So the lights are finally installed, now gotta finish up the sump.

what kind of return pump you gona use.....the tank is right next to your bed....the remora should be fairly quiet.......so its the drain and the return pump that will throw you some noise....

I have a quiet one pump for the return. It's been fired for a couple hours and the noise is barely noticeable, the problems i'm having is with the intake, it's making a lot of noise. Once i get that all figured out, there shouldn't be much noise going on. As far as my bed, i'm not sure if it's gonna stay there or i'm going to move it.
