Flow Rate Question

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
No Slime, your comment is very much relevant. I just didn't think we were ready to break it down just yet LOL.

Not yet but soon....

Off topic but is your avatar that little aro you had last yr-ish ?
 
Should i use the bulkheads that midwest customs is supplying or buy my own ?

I've not used or seen, so cannot say. But I would say they're bound to use some good ones as a tank builder? I would use what they provide unless you see something that worry you.

Yes, you got this mon, you went through this already - just bigger now ;-)

Thanks for asking; It will be 1 year since I've had it on Jan 8th. I got it at 4". I did have one before that snapped at my acrylic bracket and his mouth got infected - I operated and he didn't make it. I've since redesigned that issue.

Atom II is at least 16" now.
 
Geez. You have a thread on him ?.... no no forget it i dont wanna see it.... i'll end up wanting one
 
I took that picture with my crappy phone camera and it looked decent and the light was ok and no blur...anyway...when is the tank coming? Let the shopping for plumbing and gear begin lol.

Yeah, my 260G sits in my living room...not to mention the 50G+ sump...so I KNOW the paranoia...
 
Your tank would be good for a Lei or Jar Aro.

I do have a thread but haven't updated for awhile.
 
Should be ready in a month or so. Chris said the shop isnt behind on any major products...im planning on 2 months worst case scenario.

I was toting with the idea of a lei but need to figure out how much maintenance i wanna put i to this.... im leaning toward not much lol. Gonna have a few big polys and pearsei
 
If you do add strainers (and I have) you "must check them every day if there are plants etc, its very easy for strainers to get plugged and overflow.
Even with strainers, I used long handle brushes to regularly scrub out pipes. It doesn't take much to have detritus collect in the pipe bends with a few errant snail eggs or the MTS young, and there is a blockage. I also brush out influent pipes regularly with those brushes, especially 1/2" PVC.
