Office -> Fish room conversion

Yea, was just trying to save a little room in the sump and maybe a little electricity. I've done a couple systems now, so I'm confident I'll get this one figured out.

The wood is pearling as it soaks up water. Mesmerizing.

Not sure why the previous one dropped the slow motion. Nor can I figure out how to delete the previous post. Mods feel free to delete it.

Well, I finally have water flowing through all the pipes (and not leaking). It's still a little loud, so I'll be trying to get some rocks or hydroton or something under the 4" L where it drops a foot or so. That's where all the noise is coming from, as expected.


jjohnwm I was able to get the flow to a place I'm happy with for now.




Unexpected benefit is the bottom 4" pipe leads to a 1.5" reducer so it holds more water than the rest. I can do some nft and some dft The bottom row should work much better for seed starting and smaller plants. That's my hope anyway.



I got 4 geophagus sveni and 6 silver dollar juveniles, and they're all doing great so far.




As far as plants, I just have some house plant starts growing so far. Will get some veggies started soon hopefully.
