[bigcapct]

Is that hanging over the edge? That would worry me a little...

Wheels for a frag tank?

 

[bigcapct]

Yea half inch. Sturdy as a mofo. Yea wheels. Had no choice. It's only a frag tank. I asked everyone and was told just leave the wheels on so I did

 

[skene]

it's a handifrag tank... :lol2:

 

[bigcapct]

Lmao

Think a mag7 is good enuff for this tank? I have a ball valve to adjust it also. It's like 48 gal

 

[TRIGGERMAN]

even a 5 would probably be plenty but 7 would just make it kick more. Your sump looks more like a frag tank lol Why is it so low?

 

[bigcapct]

Where else am I supposed to put it? Didn't have enuff room for my skimmer so it on the floor

it's only a couple feet if that from the tank

 

[TRIGGERMAN]

I meant the height of the actual sump it looks like it's about 8" tall

 

[bigcapct]

It's about 15 g custom sump. Perfect for this tank. It looks tiny ur sayn?

 

[TRIGGERMAN]

yea it looks tiny and short. I personally would have used something bigger/taller.

 

[TRIGGERMAN]

You're going to have to top that thing off like 3x's a day lol

 

[bigcapct]

Gotta use what I got. Not tryin to spend more $$.

 

[bigcapct]

Y u dissin my set up.

 

[TRIGGERMAN]

I'm not "dissing" your set up. I'm saying it's not very practical. How much space do you have between where the intake of your pump is and where your water line will be? It doesn't look like there is much space since it's so low. That will be a problem, like for instance if you're not home and the sump gets too low the pump will run dry and burn out,or the fish in the tank will die from no air. It's little things like that that I'm talking about but hey do what you wanna do.

 

[bigcapct]

I know ur not lol. I'm just working with what I got ya know. I have limited space

 

[bigcapct]

What if I made the baffles higher Trig? I have soo many pieces of acrylic laying around

 

[TRIGGERMAN]

It's not the baffles it's the tank lol The sump looks good don't get me wrong I just think it's too low from the looks of it. What's the height? Are you planning on hooking an ATO up? That would help better the situation. Manually topping that off all the time will get very old very quick. On a higher sump you could get away with not doing it so often with a low one you HAVE to make sure you always do and keep an eye on the level.

 

[bigcapct]

It is short , It's like 12in tall and 24in long. I'll prob add ATO. But I'm so use to manual top off from my other 2 tanks running On the opposite side if the wall where this tank is I have 150g FO tank that I top off my self and a 75g mixed reef upstairs. For now this sump will have to do for the time being
