Well, power has been out over an hour with no estimate when it will be restored! Happily, I invested in a generator a couple of months ago. Tanks are up and running.
I hope this outage downs not last long!

Quick update, power outage lasted about 3 hours. Everything worked out OK. I am glad I have a backup power supply for these moments.Well, power has been out over an hour with no estimate when it will be restored! Happily, I invested in a generator a couple of months ago. Tanks are up and running.

LOL, I was in the same boat a few days ago. Though I know that my battery back ups will outlast my patience, as I tried to see how long they would last, lol, it was still a nail biting situation waiting on the power to comeback on.

Hi, and thank you. When CDA provided a quote, shipping was not broken out. Considering how heavy these tanks are, I would have paid to have it delivered.man, that is a sexy build. do you know how much cheaper it would have been if you went down to Oceanside to pick it up instead of delivered? i plan to order a 60x30x24 in the near future. Tank only
I am going to pick up a battery for the return pump. But since I was home I would have pulled out the generator anyway as I would have been too worried.LOL, I was in the same boat a few days ago.

I have a battery back up on both of my Ecotech pumps, I currently have 1 battery back up on my Gyre 350. Its the Gyre 350 that I am more concerned with. I plan on adding a couple more battery backups, in series, to help the Gyre as I will add another 350 pump on my upgrade. The Gyres break the water surface, and thus oxygenate the water. I thought about putting battery backups on my return pumps, but they may last 20 percent of what a flow pump will. Like you, I have a generator, but I need enough time to get home to turn it on and connect my tank to it. Short of adding a whole home generator, not a very cost effective situation for me, as I really don't have power outages lasting longer than 2-4 hours, I feel this is the best thing.I am going to pick up a battery for the return pump.

Something you might want to consider, if your new dream tank is damaged between CDA and your home, it is not on you if you use CDA shipping.
Did you order already? If not, I would call and talk with Zoya. They may be able to do better than their website . Just say’n.shouldnt have been lazy and looked it up before i asked you.. lol
$160 for delivery.. thats probably cheaper than renting a trailer and gas back and forth.
I haven’t ordered it yet. I almost did because I had a leak in my 75, but I was able to fix it.Did you order already? If not, I would call and talk with Zoya. They may be able to do better than their website . Just say’n.
Do you have a picture of the drain setup? I am done with the plumbing, but doing the overflow plumbing now, just trying to see how you shoehorned the setup in the overflow box. My main question is the half siphon drain.I kept at 1 1/2 inch, but if I did it again, I would reduce to 1”. It is kinda finicky to get a symphony going with an bean animal setup with 1 1/2” drains.
I will try to get a picture tomorrow. Basically, as you suggest, it is tight fit. The main drain is in the middle using a pancake strainer, emergency drain is on the left andDo you have a picture of the drain setup?

I did not realize the message was cut off. On the right is the secondary drain. I used a street 90 angle connected to a regular 90 with a very short piece of pipe. It barely fit.I will try to get a picture tomorrow. Basically, as you suggest, it is tight fit. The main drain is in the middle using a pancake strainer, emergency drain is on the left and
Yep, it will be tight. Just make sure you can remove the items for cleaning later and your golden.I will have the half siphon on the left, overflow in the center, and fill siphon on the right. I can fit them in, it’s just extremely tight.
Here are the pictures I promised.Yep, it will be tight. Just make sure you can remove the items for cleaning later and your golden.
