Lookin good buddy. Dave, the filter sock just stays right in place? It doesnt move?? I need to invest in a few of those.

nice looking plumbing, nice CL, you won't regret that.

what pump do you have for the return.

 

[spykes]

kris: im gonna build a acrylic filter sock holder. also i might use 2 socks not just one.
john: i am using a mag 7 on the return and a 3 on the CLS, i have a question tho if i lower the mag drive CLS to near the bottom, do you think it will affect performance?

 

[jhale]

what's cls stand for?
closed loop squid?

it looks like the return is goind to the squid?
do you still need to drill the cl?

 

[spykes]

the close loop system, yeah the CL isnt on, plus no squid on the CL just a ball vlave so i can switch the flow left and right which way is more gentle and which is more violent.

 

[spykes]

plumbing a CLS on a 20 gallon is stupid hard LOL

 

[nanoreefer22]

Nice....even though it looks kinda complex...

 

[jhale]

I see you made good use of the bag 'O fittings

looks great, how much flow are you going to have going through the whole thing?

 

[spykes]

im hopping 1400, right now only 800GPH. i made use for most of the peices, also every peice of material you guys gave me. thanks john and steve! i got foam under the tank and all, im very happy up to this point.

 

[spykes]

wow, that was a lot of materials to use on one small tank.
you must have the most pimped out 20 gallon I've seen.
:approve:

 

[spykes]

dude you gotta do my doors, i think i might order those pistons steve ordered as well.

Congra Spykes.. Everything is looking very very nice. Just love a tank that is clean, where everything is done outside instead of these inside overflow. Its gonna be a bomb!

 

[spykes]

thanks ctxmonitor for the comment, i put alot of thought into this system, if i was gonna do another system it had to be like this, done to perfection, just it was kinda hard adding a CLS when there is already so much stuff in the back.

 

[nanoreefer22]

Damn dude cant wait to see some corals in that bad boy.

 

[spykes]

yeah man i cant wait etheir!, tmr im gonna add some live stock nothing perminate until i get my white gloss bottom!

[spykes]
