SRC Member lkoivoon Posted November 6, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 6, 2005 Here is the overflow box. As you can see the pipes are blocking the floss hence some of the water escape the floss and go straight down to the sump...this is no good. Has overcome this in the new 6x2x2.5 tank ... will show later.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member lkoivoon Posted November 6, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 6, 2005 With the experience (the good and bad things) of the current 5ft tank. I designed the new 6x2x2.5 tank myself and just get the tank supplier to build according to my design. Here is the 3.5x1.5x1.5 sump. This sump meant to be simple. The right side is big enough to house the Deltec AP851 skimmer in case it leaks in future. Current plan is of course to place the AP851 outside the sump. The 1 inch divider is used to place carbon. Carbon will be placed fully across this 1 inch divider so that all the water will have to go pass the carbon .... as I intend to used ozone on the left side of the sump (to be shown later...). This is to ensure that ozone will not get into the main tank. Sump.doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member lkoivoon Posted November 6, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 6, 2005 Becase it will be a BB tank. The tank is with 50% overflow and 50% underflow for easy maintenance. The problem of pipes blocking the floss in the overflow box is removed by shifting the 2xdurso pipes to another compartment -- The overflow/underflow water from the main tank will first flow to the overflow box filled with floss, and then, the water is underflow into the next compartment with the 2xdurso pipes to the sump. 6ft_tank.doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
