Sad to announce... there will be a slight delay to the firing up of Hydor Performer 3000 :erm: As you can see from the pix below... it took me the entire afternoon to fill up 60 US Gallons using DI water... decided to take it slow and steady due to the fact that this 60 US Gallons is as much as 1/3 of my overall volume... any inconsistency in the water quality will threaten the balance of my system.

Therefore I will run the salt mix for a day or two... make sure all parameters in sync with my main tank... and then connect both sumps slowly coz I am trying to avoid a temperature spike too :unsure:

Right now... I've fire-up all 3 Foaming Pumps... they create bubbles in a circular manner (cyclone effect)... as the Feeding Pump is not functioning, the pumps are basically recirculating the water over and over again. I am doing this to allow the pumps and the skimmer to start kicking in while waiting for the water inside Sump No.2 to be ready :)

Do not judge the amount of bubbles yet as the pressure is not right and the absence of water feed will not give any actual indication :)

hey Bro,

will the sump tank be strong able to support the hydor? Seems like its going to be quite heavy when filled with water and its resting on the glass like that... looks dangerous leh... :blink:

Looking at the thickness and the construction of the glass tank... yes... :)

Been using this for a while now... revealing for the first time :lol: Actually I find this product very easy to use as it is much easier to mix the two parts together... compared to another brand I used when I first started the hobby :)

dude, i share Dave's concern over the ability of the sump to support the weight of the Hydor 3k (fully filled up is easily 50kg rite) in the long run.

maybe u or Steve would want to relook into how to reinforce the support...

cool gadget i must agree, warao even the 'holder' u have for the outlet of the Crystal pro, i am speechless... :bow::bow:

Yeah basically Sump No.2 qualify as another tank coz the volume is high (around 60+ US Gal) :shock:

As for the flow inside the skimmer... here's a video showing exactly that... but I still expect more bubbles in the coming few days :eyebrow:
