Thank you!   I found a source for food grade, poly, 55's and the guy only wants $5.00 each.  They are about 50 miles away from me but could be well worth the trip.  He wants to sell them in lots of 6 so I could get 6 and then find a use for them in my breeding endeavors, I'm sure, or sell them and at least get my gas money back.   #22 CableGuy Total Posts : 591 Scores: 7 Reward points : 731 Joined: 8/26/2010 Location: Saint Clair Shores, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 635 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Adam's (CableGuy's) breeding "Area" Monday, September 24, 2012 2:21 PM (permalink) 0 Its time for an update...   I've made a ton of changes to the fish room as of late and will detail them shortly in this thread with pictures. -Adam   #23 justreefinit Total Posts : 59 Scores: 0 Reward points : 187 Joined: 9/15/2011 Location: mcclure, PA, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Adam's (CableGuy's) breeding "Area" Monday, September 24, 2012 2:55 PM (permalink) 0 (runs off to get pop corn)   #24 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Scores: 37 Reward points : 2909 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Adam's (CableGuy's) breeding "Area" Monday, September 24, 2012 3:46 PM (permalink) 0 Originally Posted by CableGuy Its time for an update...

I'll get post an update today. -Adam   #27 CableGuy Total Posts : 591 Scores: 7 Reward points : 731 Joined: 8/26/2010 Location: Saint Clair Shores, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 635 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Adam's (CableGuy's) breeding "Area" Tuesday, September 25, 2012 7:35 PM (permalink) 0 I wanted to take what I've learned from others and myself over the last year and improve on it, in functionality, ease of use along with a money saving opportunity.   Feel free to ask questions on specific's if you'd like.   Couple talking (thinking for me) points:   I wanted to slow evap and keep heat in = Less on the electric bill I like having one large tank split up "x" amount of times, but what if it cracked? Drains that wont get salt creep Returns that don't splash (another source of salt creep) You can ask, but I don't have an answer - The bulkheads are all over as far as high/low location on glass, although they are 100% on center with the drains so they go straight down. This allowed me to hopefully get salt creep free drains - Time will tell. I tried to do everything as neatly and professional as I could. My old broodstock had its own light. This is now lite by the same light that is near my grow out, a 220W T5HO 8' light.  Again, save a few dollars a month.   New broodstock setup: 8' long, 9 10G tanks on each tier.   Overall shot - There will be another bank of tanks on the bottom. Just haven't got there yet.       Return lines - 1" out of sump, to two 3/4" ball valves.       Drain style - The different size 1.5" pipe is due to having scrap pipe. Too lazy to cute it to size, or due to having scrap 1" pipe that was short so I needed to use a longer 1.5" pipe. Worked well.       Return lines -     <message edited by CableGuy on Thursday, September 27, 2012 12:55 AM> -Adam   #28 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Scores: 37 Reward points : 2909 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Adam's (CableGuy's) breeding "Area" Tuesday, September 25, 2012 7:42 PM (permalink) 0 Looks great!

Seems that 3/4" PVC would be quiet restrictive. I run 2" off my pump then reduce to 1/2" for each outlet. Less head loss per run. I use a snapper pump with 21 tanks.   #33 CableGuy Total Posts : 591 Scores: 7 Reward points : 731 Joined: 8/26/2010 Location: Saint Clair Shores, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 635 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Adam's (CableGuy's) breeding "Area" Monday, November 26, 2012 1:32 AM (permalink) 0 Originally Posted by just clownin around What size pump do you use?

I use a snapper pump with 21 tanks.   Currently, a Mag18.... 3/4" with very low PSI should flow around 1000gph. I have 9 tanks up top, and 8 on the bottom.   I'd like to have around 40-80GPH per tank depending on its' inhabitants. 60GPH is one gallon per minute, which with a 10G tank, is good flow IMO for broodstock. -Adam   #34 Suzy Total Posts : 138 Scores: 0 Reward points : 209 Joined: 1/21/2011 Location: , UT, US Status: offline MBI: 60 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Adam's (CableGuy's) breeding "Area" Monday, November 26, 2012 10:20 AM (permalink) 0 Very nice. Strong work! http://www.suzysreef.com/   #35 just clownin around Total Posts : 50 Scores: 0 Reward points : 121 Joined: 8/11/2012 Location: Venice, FL, US Status: offline MBI: 125 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Adam's (CableGuy's) breeding "Area" Monday, November 26, 2012 11:55 PM (permalink) 0 The reason I asked is because I am trying to get as efficient as I can. Electricity in my operation has been cut in half in the past year and I'm lookin to trim some more fat per say. I think the snapper tuned down is less watts than the mag 18 but has less head pressure.   #36 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon Change Page: < 12 | Showing page 2 of 2, messages 21 to 36 of 36 - powered by ASPPlayground.NET Forum Trial Version
