A few photos of the first. Still waiting for the cool Swivel Push To Connect Elbows. Not tested yet.

Some details,
-6"OD 1/4"W cast tube
-3/8" cast flanges key holed
-misc 3/4" acrylic
-seated o-ring seal
-wall mountable vertical or horizontal
-sealed unit, out of sump use
-a few fittings and hoses not in photo yet

See any funky stuff, let me know and I'll modify to correct.

This one I beleave worked out to 3.9liters - $210

Is that 3.9L of Zeovit it will hold, or 3.9L total chamber volume? Why not even holes throughout the entire space of the "plates"? Is it designed to just rotate it forward, then rotate it back right away...or rotate it forward one day, then next day rotate it back? Or whatever you want?

Looks FAN-TAS-TIC!!! Sign me up!

3.9liter media section (between the drilled plates). Or was it 3.7liter. I'll measure it again once I'm awake.

The theory on hole placement was for horizontal mount. It should help the water flow thru the media instead of short cutting above it.

I don't think it will need to rotate much. Just a quick back and fourth to move the media around. Speaking of media, I'll need to go buy a few bags to test. My guess is that it will work better in the vertical position.

Good call!!

Anyone find a source for Sedra pumps? What's the price on those puppies anyway?

Wendell sells Sedra pumps: http://oceanaquatics.com/store/categ...-%26-External/

Having said that is there a reason to go Sedra over anything else? They're just a pump. The Hydor Seltz pumps are smaller and draw less power for example:

Sedra 5000 - 500gph - 50W
Seltz L35 - 450gph - 23W

Sedra 2500 - 250gph - 25W
Seltz L25 - 265gph - 10W

(Anyhow, just a thought.. )
