I have not started it yet. Still waiting on the Loc-Line fittings and still trying to figure out how to get the left side (if you are looking at the tank) to connect to my "y" fitting on the right. Just not enough room. The shelf is a little too high, so I am either going to lower it or just...

Here are some pictures of the tank with some temporary rock work. The base will stay mostly the same. I have some excellent curved rock in the 56, pictured above, that will create some more caves. The top of it was just thrown together. If you look closely, you can see my overflows for the...

Thanks for the response stdreb, but this is actually for a 120 gallon. The 56 pictured is our current tank. Below are some pictures as promised. More to come.

PM sent - single or double ended?

Well, I got most of the closed loop and DIY overflows dry fitted and the overflows drilled (I will post pictures later this evening). I drilled 1/4" holes 1" apart for a total of 10" on all four sides. This is connected to a slip fit then another 6" into a 90 then into a "t" fitting that is...

skimmer sold?

Interested in the Mag pump. Where are you in relation to Cincinnati? Shipping and cost for the mag to 41051?

Veni, any chance you can take a look at my thread concerning my plumbing and provide some suggestions? I am really confused and the wife is getting anxious!

Anyone? Please help! I built the closed loop, just need to know what to do for flow to the dart pump. Would two 1 1/2" overflow pvc set ups be too much, not enough? The return will have two 90 degrees, one out of the pump and one at top of the tank. Head loss will be approximately 5 feet...

Thanks again natclan! I am going to go with the closed loop. After more research, I again have more questions. -The dart pump is rated at 3600 gph, will the set up you mentioned "pvc with a couple of 90's" be enough to feed 3600 gph (I know there will be head loss and reduction due to 90's)...

Sorry, I was not clear! I ment out of your loc line that actually push the water into the tank. I just purchased 32" of ball fittings for my outflow, but thought I could use those for the closed loop. Just need to figure out how to connect them to the loc lines. So you went from 2" down to...

I am going to try and copy your closed loop on our 120. I also have a dart pump. What did you use coming out of your "t" connectors for flow? A picture would be awsome if you can get to it.

Thank you natclan! I was looking into the closed loop yesterday. I have an opportunity to get a 75 gallon tank for $40 and was thinking of using that for my refugium. -With two built in overflows, would that be too much for a refugium? -How would I get water out of the tank for the closed...

Lots of views, no one out there with any suggestions???? Please.

The more I think about it, if I am filling the refugium with water that is already flowing from the WD that is mixed with the refugium water, does that make much of a difference? When I add a Skimmer, should I place the skimmer in the first section of the refugium? I know the skimmer is...

Thank you guys so much for the ideas! Now that I have pictures, hopefully I can get some additional feedback. Thanks to natclan, I think I know what I want to do, but I have several questions. As you will see in the picture, we have a dart pump (we actually just had a new one sent to us, but...

It will be set up as a refugium with figi mud, sand, cheato, and mangrove trees.

Beautiful set up! Cannot wait to see how you plumb your refuge. I am in the process of trying to set mine up with a W/D as my main drain and planning to run our refuge off of the w/d.

For our 120 gallon tank, we currently have a W/D filter with two 1" pipes flowing water from the tank to W/D. The W/D is in the laundry room about 5' from the tank. We are wanting to add a 36"x13"x16" sump that will be place on the stand over the W/D. The top of the sump will be approximately...
