Its supposed to be a refugim sump but I'm having DSB in main tank thus doing some mod to sump with another panel of glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member shootsimon Posted July 25, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted July 25, 2005 Tank is currently going through cycling process. Taking it slowly. May even take 2 months to do that. In the meantime hunting for MH lights. Currently using T5s for shoot. Seldom switch on unless for shoot. Attach some more closer view of my LRs.

SRC Member shootsimon Posted July 25, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted July 25, 2005 If take a closer look the LRs are two mountains are hollow. Have did my return to flow out from the " two mountains" so as to have max flow within the LRs run by 1 eheim 1262. Chiller return also run by another 1262 where the outlet is directed directly to the main tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
