well I have purchased the Reeflo Sequence Dart Pump! so i can finally finish the CLS system. i will likely get it by the end of the week.
When the CLS is complete and in place, i can then resume and finish the canopy project.

changed the rockwork last night cause i have still not been able to catch the damn BlackCap Basslet. my one QT tank is more than halfway through Hypo and i still have to count 6 weeks after i get him out!
here are some pics for this other trap idea.

i am going to leave that egg crat in there so he gets used to it, and then feed the tank in that corner so he is goaded into it from the opening in the front. then when he is in there, i will come in there with another piece of egg crate and lock him off in that corner where it should be much easier to catch him.

Does anyone have any ideas for the Manifold plumbing / design?
i will be starting another thread to hammer that out...

this is what i posted as a secondary thread:
(sorry for double post)
hi all. I will be getting my Sequence DART to push my CLS this week. the drain is already plumbed, and the Dart will be mounted on the underside of the tank on the left side. (upsidedown from the stand ceiling)
So now the question is, what is the best way to build the manifold?
here is the top of my acrylic custom 150g:

it has about a 3" lip around the top and then a rectangle cut out in the middle-back for the overflow column in black. i post this so it is easy for you to take the pic and draw your ideas on it and post up! think of it like a template

ok so i had two ideas
option 1:

i think with this version it is possible the left side may get a lot more push than then the right. Although, the concept behind a manifold, where the PVC is built in a Ring formation, pressure stays even.
option 2:

any input would be great!
sorry for double posting but this will be in my upgrade thread as well.

sad day . i flushed the CB angel this morning. the two days of dosing maracyn II either was not enough to make a difference or was not ever going to make a difference. she was my oldest fish at 2.5 years. and now somehow i cant find the neon goby in that QT tank either, hopefully he is just hiding....
