What kind of returns are those in the tank, never seen a standpipe design like that! Are they adjustable (height)? aand what is on the top of them, just a hole, or some type of grating?
Thanks, looks great, would like to do something like that in the future!! Keep up the great work!

Wow. That is really interesting. I havent seen that kind of setup before. Was it complicated to get put together, or was it pretty easy? I like the look of it. I cant wait to see what it's like with some stock in there.

the 2 center tubes are returns and the 2 others are skimmers. The skimmers skim the top(when adjusted properly) and they also draw from 10" down through a strainer.

How is the RO/DI unit going? Is their a lot of waste water.
Seaham,
The ro/di seems to be doing good. As far as the amount of waste, I couldn't say for sure. They say that you generally get 20 gallons out of 100 on average. the water is good though. I also have a very good water softening unit hooked up before the ro/di. I hooked up my Liter Meter directly to my water barrel in the basement. Sweet. No more jugs to the LFS and no manual top off!

reef fool,
I might be way off base or even out of the park. I was looking at your refuge and it is lower then the sump and is hooked to the sump. When you loose power or shut off the pump and the water level raises isn't the water going to over flow the fuge? I know when my pump is off the water level raises to about 2" from the top of the sump. Maybe I'm missing something.

No glue at all. I picked alot of Marshall Island rock as well as Elk horn rock. I put Figi on the bottom for a big round base. the Elk Horn is really nice. Each Piece has dozens of holes in it and each one has a feather duster type worm in it. Not just the avg. tube worm. The whole wall of rock is really stable.

Seaham,
I tested this several times and my sump comes nowhere near the top when the return pump shuts off. We bulkheaded the sump directly to the Refugium and added a strainer in the sump. Works great!
