I run mine in pulse mode and about 7sec duration. I aim the two tunze at each other and they are place diagonally across the tank. Still not decided on the position yet. My smaller "hill" seems to get lesser current. The fishes sure will enjoy it lol. I need to go buy the extension kit again cos cut one wrongly, end up too short.

2x6000 tunze. Return pump is attman with flow rate of 4000 l/h.

Elbow added to EV-240 gate valve to help reduce the noise from the water splashing down.

choppy water

Tunze added. Still very messy wiring.

you should not run your skimmer during cycling.

Was there yesterday afternoon, like nothing much there. Perhaps need to wait for new shipment.

Sold.

NO2 = 0.025 according to the salifert NO2 high sensitivity test. Also dropping from the color of the tetra test kit compared to yesterday.

Ammonia = 0, that was fast, I don't believe it????? I noticed that at the overflow the foam formed there is much lesser compared to few days back.

As long as after you remove this pest, you do the proper cycling aka introduction of ammonia source then let it go zero, NO2 go zero, nitrate start to drop means fully cycled already.

EV-240

so for 4ft and 1.7m head + 2 elbow what pump should I get? Assuming 100 gallon of water and aiming for turn over rate of 10x per hour? Or is 10x turn over rate too much?

skimmer is 26" high. No problem with removing the collection cup. No need to tilt the skimmer.

The only equipment on during the cycling stage is the return pump and internal circulation pump (replacing with tunze later). The DSB is 6", is that too thick? If go thinner then I cannot reach the bottom already, guess this is best of both world for me. I arrange my rock work in such a way that it is pretty hollow and not all packed with LR inside the landscaping to maximise the DSB surface area.

reserved.

will have to find the proper fitting. The gate valve is 1 1/2" (40mm) if I am not wrong, dunno can find or not.

EV-240 in action (test run). Before that test run for 2 days and no foam produced. Thought pump not strong. Using Ocean free 9000 (4500 l/h flow rate) which is actually the SEN 900 recommended by aquaC. This evening troubleshoot and found the water inject choked by 2 pcs of silicon, ~!@#$%^&*(). After removing them, here's the foam I got. Phew what a great difference. The water returning back to the sump is ultra noise like water fall, have to find some ways to solve it.

go petmart and buy then.

wow you used until the lights die? When was the last time you change the PL ??? Thought supposed to change once every 6 months?

petmart selling, around $20. But I think only 11w, the PL small one. Might as well go for 2ft which is 55w

Is it optical distortion or I see that your stand is bending?

Water was getting smelly so I'm afraid later the whole house stinks. I've left a few pcs in the tank and the first few pc that I added already dissolved. The later ones still there.

sealife is open today.

pictures of the crack. The plastic used are very low quality, one slight drop result in these cracks.
