![]() cool build.
the gate valve might fix the problem.. also try adjusting it then leaving it for a half hour to work out the air bubbles. |

![]() Alright so to level this tank I grabbed a scrap peice of .108" stainless channel from work and bought the cheap screw jacks. Had to cut myself some plywood shims, ended up needing 4 on each side.
Here is what it looked like before ![]() Cutting the c channel to length at home. ![]() Pic of $8 dollars worth of cheap chinese machinist jacks (rated to 1k lb each) ![]() So this is what i used minus 4 shims. I used the large scissor jack to raise the stand, then let it down on the leveling jacks. Took 4 tries to get it lvl front to back and side to side. ![]() This is what each side looks like. Can't see the channel but it is up underneath and runs the full width. ![]() Nice cloudy water! Aquavitro? ![]() And what the sump plumbing looks like now ![]() Took me 5 mins to get the tanks balanced. I have noticed that the system is somewhat self balancing. Anyways I am pretty happy now!

![]() I am not sure yet. I will move my clown from my nano and get him a buddy. I might move my yellow watchman goby but I think I might get rid of him. He hides pretty much all the time. I am not sure he is suitable for tile substrate.
Had faith and let the tank run all night. Everything is perfect. Water has cleared alot also. Pretty excited about getting some nice corals in! Hopefully cycle doesn't take too long Last edited by legendboy; 11-04-2010 at 02:38 PM. |
