JDigitals' 40G "Rimless" upgrade project.

[JDigital]

This was on my doorstep this afternoon....



So I opened it up......



Then I opened the box inside the box...



Then I put together what was in the box...



It's a pretty tight fit in the 10G sump.. lol I might have to run my return pump as an external.



Will be awhile before I can fire it up, still need to get some glass for the overflow, do a bunch of plumbing, find a new return pump since the OR2500 I had planned on salvaging from the 10G won't be enough return flow IMO.

There was also a 125W Jager heater, Spears Gate Valve, and some strainers in the box..

Overflow is on the way and I could be nudged into upgrading my return. Leaving a quietone 6000 unused.

You rule Doug! Thanks again. I'll talk to you about the pump next time I see ya.

Thanks to Doug (fishytime) I was able to get the over flow pretty much done this week.. Siliconed it in place last night, Will be awhile before I can water test it, still got all the plumbing to do, Need to find a new return pump, and come up with a sump design that I'm happy with.

this thing is coming along nicely.

Finally found a used pump for the system.

Buddy of mine shut down his 90G about 5 months ago, and has a ton of gear he was planning to keep, but being a student and broke, wanted to sell some stuff. The pump being one of those things.

Quietone 4000 HH, I should be pushing 900GPH thru the return. I will add to that with 2x Tunze 6045 or an Vortech MP20. Still undecided.
