"120 FOWLR that almost wasn't"

[Slamajamajama]

Did you tried unpluging the return pump to ensure the sump will hold all the back drain?

The reason I ask is your drilled drain is pretty low and your sump looks too small to hold the water.

good lookin out P....have u Awilda?

 

[Awibrandy]

With wavemaker controller

Thank you Wingo!

good lookin out P....have u Awilda?

Yes, M! Guess you didn't read my response::fishhit: :hug:

I know Cali, ideally I need a 20g.long(which 1eyeJack is housed in temporarily). That wet/dry only holds appx.17g. Once the turtle goes back into the 30g, then I can commandear the 20gl for a better sump.:biggrin:

Looking good A.

For the drain ,you can just turn the strainer up towards the surface of the water and or extend it up with a piece of pipe.

2 thing that concern me. the window the tank is next too. It might cause the tank to swing temp. and is that a radiator. if so that may heat the tank in the winter. just keep an eye out so it doesn side track you

Hope all is welll. looks great cant wait to see the fish swim in it ,they have a mini pool now

Ro, my thoughts exactly! I was just thinking the same thing. Test again with the drain & return more in the upwards direction.
Window is not a problem, only gets morning sun at an angle. The 75g was in the same place with no problems. Actually my 155 gets more sun, and that one is way across the room.:eek1:
Radiators I found out in my old house are not that big a deal with larger tanks. Had my 75 right up against a radiator in the old house, and again no problems.

Good looking out though! Much appreciated thanks.

Fish are all out in the open as of this morning. Took the Majestic the longest to adjust to it's new surroundings.:smile:

 

[DEEPWATER]

WOW ,that great , If my tank was next to the window up here ,Ide be making soup

Just a couple of thoughts..not sure if it matters in a tank that large but I recall that 2 Pygmy Angels (the Flame you already have and the Coral Beauty you want) don't necessarily get along with each other. The Flame is supposed to be introduced last.

And double check that the Koralias can work with a Wavemaker .

Looking great A! More pics?

...I see you've become 'A' now to many...lol

That flame no longer exist. The plan is to introduce the Coral Beauty first, then the Flame.

Haven't decided on the Koralias, probably go for the cheapest since it is only a fowlr, and I'm getting 4.

Peeps don't want to type 5 letter's.

Ro, I'm by the sea with lots of breeze. And the sun comes up behind my house, and sets in the front of my house. That is why I can get away with it.:lol_large

 

[Awibrandy]

So! How much flow do I need in a 120 FOWLR? As in total GPH, per please!

And do you think a 20L is sufficient sump for it? 72" X 18", and the drain being 3.5" from the top.

 

[Omega]

Hey Awilda. Looks Great! Where is this exactly in your house? I can't place it?? Hope all's good.

Mark, my reef is bigger 155 Bow. And my pool is even bigger 8,000g.:flower:

you can turn your pool into a shark lagoon!!rangehat

72*18*3.5 it's a little less than 20g so a 20L (or 5g) is small. Do you mean 20g? BTW I am glad everything worked out and the tank looks good.

I have in my 120 a CB and a lemonpeel. I put them in my tank within a week and they are inseparable buddies.

 

[Awibrandy]

Omega, the 120 is in the far corner between the side & front window where the 75 fowlr was. Next to the sectional, across from the TV. Hope that helps you invision it better. But why try to invision, when you & yours always welcomed in our home.

Crox, I would think we are all intelligent folks here, and would know 20L is short for 20 gallons long vs 20 gallon high!

 

[Omega]

Ohh. I got it. Yeah, We have to stop by soon. Thank you for the Invite.
Talk soon...

Isn't 20g in a long and 20g in a high tank the same? You asked if that's enough and I said that it's too small.:smash:

u also say ((5g) Do you mean 20g?) This is what I responded to.:tired::arg:

 

[Wingo LEDs]

Awi,

If by any chance you need a bigger sump I have some tanks larger than 20G laying around.

Thanks Wingo, I'll let you know after I try the 20.

Anything on the Black Volitan?

When I don't mention it, you know I don't have it. Sorry. I am still in the midst of moving and renovating the cafe, shutting down more tanks. Too scare to order any new LS in the mean time. I make sure no one takes your coral beauty away though. it has been with me since day one of the tank. It looks as if he's a model citizen too.

[originaly quoted by Wingo]BTW, whatever I say here may be a lie too.]

So how do I know this is not a lie?:lol_large:biglaugh:
