Also what is the flow rate of your return pump? Have been looking at lastlights pump he has for sale. And thinking of doing 8 - 1" returns after my 4way so they would alternate 4 on, 4 off.

Hey Greg 1st question
none flows thru the skimmer Greg i have a separate pup that poweres the skimmer.
Flow rate of the return pump is a Ocean runner 2500.
i will be going to a mag 12 once I get a impeller thou.

So you are just feeding the skimmer directly from the sump, I guess that would make sense for me to as i am running Vertex pellets and the return from the reactor should be feed back into the skimmer.Thanks Mike

Time to sit back, crack a beer, and watch it grow!

The Grizz 02-16-2011 01:28 AM
That is true awesome Mike! I showed the wife what you built and she was very impressed as well (wife is not totally reef safe, YET). Your cabinet has given me a few iders for my 250 as well, with the wifes approval already too :biggrin:

Very very very nice job dude, well do, now the hard part taking good pics of an 8'er, I know I have difficulties there :lol:.
