Default The new 120....***UPDATED*** Mixing Station***

Hey Guys.........

The new 120 is here and I thought I would share.....


Tank, Stand and sump


This 48x24x24 will have 2 Mak 4's running the show. One for the sump, That will enter the tank via two 3/4 Sea Swirls and one will be a closed loop with a Super Squirt. You can see 2 drains in the back for the closed loop. Each of the 3 strainers drain into 2 lines then to one pump this will cut down on the velocity of the water being sucked. 4 returns for this 2 centre at the back and 2 in the rocks. The ones in the rocks will be split with Loc Line. A 36gal sump with 2 100 micron bags. Why 2???? The flow will be split into 2 bags for ease of change. I figer one will have to be changed often but 2, 1/2 the time.

There is a Stockman pipe(Aquasilencer) in the over flow I take it out for a laugh it looks just like an Austin Powers ***** pump.....
You should have seen the neighbors faces......



The sump


Ill post more when I can......

CHANGES.......

Finer sand
Use this rock as a base change to Figi or Tonga I think

Fish........right now its a grave yard........I have blamed it on the canister
hence the change.......not cutting it to much work to keep up to it....

Looks great. Can't wait to see it in action.

There is an eerie ghost in the tank, though, who looks as if he's trying to take your picture. I hope you're OK with that (seems like a reasonably benign ghost .. perhaps a former paparazzi)
