I got my new retro T-12's too!!!!!

Here's the over flow ( very dirty )

this is the prefilter box.[img]

No, I was poking in the box of old parts and found out that it was the prefilter that I told you guys about. I found the over flow it 6" L x 3 3/4 W x 5" deep. I'm dump I know All of my stuff just got here. I'll check it all out and get back to you guys in a minute. :cheer:

The old OF does have a u tube and return jet, so I use the mag 7 on it. Now the CL, how exactly do I set it up? And what's a "9.5" a return pump? Sorry I'm new to this. I always had hob stuff.

Ok I'll be waiting hopefully my stuff will be here by then.

I just looked and the demin. on the sump are, 20"L x 9"D x 16"H. Is that going to be big enough????? :notsure:

Ok, I measured the old drain and it's about 1 1/2". The new cpr I'm not sure about yet. On the site it say 3/4" bulkhead, is that the drain you're talking about?

I looked on the site I got the new overflow from and it doesn't say what size the hose will be, but it should be here soon. Like I siad the old hose is a 5/8. If you give me your email I can email you the page.

The old box is, 6" tall x 4" wide. I was going to try reef so would I need the uv?

The overflow hose says 5/8 on it.

Ok guys what else do I need to get then? Oh yeah, I was looking at all old stuff the guy I got tank from gave me and there's a uv stre, rio 400, and other overflow box I forgot about. The overflow says Quietflo on it and it has some flex hose with it.

I'm not sure if they'll let me say the place I get mine from but pet solutions is the best for dry goods.

I wouldn't worry, I have a 10 gal. reef and it has 2 sally light foots and about 8 or9 hermits and they all work very well together.

I've got the mag 7 coming in today. I have the two maxi-jet powerheads that I'm planning on putting in the tank for the extra flow. I really don't know much about the closed loop system. :notsure:

I hear ya chip, the super skimmer is great!!!

I'm waiting for the sump and all of that stuff to come in. I was going to use 2 maxi 1200 in the tank to get the water movement in it, and I got the cpr with the 300 gph continous siphon. I'm not sure about the size of the drain it (pet solutions) said it would all fit.

Thanks coach, I was think about the bioballs thing. I've heard they are bad but I've heard that if you do clean them once a month they work very well. I'm not sure? I do plan to have a good amount of cheato in my fuge, I just order more and I'm going to take the cheato I have in my hob refuge...

ok, fine

I'm setting up my 90 gal. and I odered a pro-clear mud sump. I was going to fill the refuge with cheato, replace the built-in skimmer with a super skimmer 125, keep the bioballs and use a crp return that was rated for the wet/dry ( mag 7 return ). Do you think it'll work ok?
