All hooked up and running like a champ. Here is what it looks like in my stand at the moment.
The fuge itself.
Ok. Details. The drain/overflow is a 1" female slip to 1" male street. A short piece of 1" pipe is in the female end with groves cut into it to act as teeth. There is a 3/4" pipe in the street end that goes into the 3/4" bulkhead. None of that is glued. Should I need to change it, It will all come apart. The rest of the drain is all 3/4" in pipe with a 90* elbow to lead down to the sump. At the end there is a 45* elbow with a short piece of pipe that goes into the 3" PVC rubble stack. Pretty simple.
The feed for the fuge is from the display and controlled by a ball valve. Should I need to take it off line, I shut the valve, drain the fuge, and pull it out. Easy Peasy. With this setup, if my pump should quit on me, everything will still have water in it and my sump will not overflow. That makes me happy. The flow through the fuge is a bit slower than I would like, but that will change once I get the Meg3 return I am planning on getting. (I hope.)
OK, here are a few goodies.
Random sponge.
This is a bad pic, but I think it is a small coral. Any help would be appreciated.
Also came across this goodie in the garage. Forgot I had it.
A CPR HOB skimmer. It needs a gasket and pump, but I may have that all figured out. Need to do some looking on the net and I will know for sure.
My next step is going to be substrate. I also need a decent heater as I think mine went out. Add some Koralia nano 240 power heads to that. And I am in business.
Oh yeah, light bulbs and a Mag3 pump too.
Pics!!
