Ewwww, Nitrates

Some great ideas in here. Ive got some plans for a 55long that I may have to make come to life...

you do realize cale262 that you are running your pellets wrong, the outlet from you reactor should be directed as close as possible to your skimmer as possible.

The pellets never ran as pictured for more than an hour or two. This picture was taken Just after the sump swap and shortly after the tlf reactor and pellets were move to another tank. You may have also noticed that the water level is very high and not at running height...the return pump is off, the skimmer is not skimming, the calcium reactor is not there...etc.

Why did I post this picture again....oh yeah, to show where the overflow lines ran in relation to the socks.

Ok just checking, I think that's way some people have problems running the pellets.

Big Ugly. Freehand cuts with a skill saw and 7" openings down with a few hundred tiny drilled holes :lol:

Nice job. I'd like to see it again when it's running.
Hopefully I'll get mine done Sunday.
I grabbed the Plex Fri and have been itchin' to get at it.

I've never worked with acrylic before but I used the weld-on 16 and it was simple to work with out of a tube.
