Your tank is looking awesome!
I actuakly liked being able to just barely see the water level. it allowed me to see of one of the pumos turned off or maybe play around with the wave created in the tank. just my opinion though. tank and tread look great!! keep us up to date!
You're pretty close. That second L1 may just do it!
Is there any reason not to run them simultaneously? Not familiar with GFO.
The only thing I've been able to find is that GFO should tumble inside of the reactor to keep it from solidifying, while carbon should not. I may be able to accomplish this by running them in sequence using the foam pads with the carbon and not using any with the GFO. If I do run them in parallel, it will maximize efficiency and increase flow back to the display e.g. one of the manifold valves open versus two.
Got it. Would it require different amounts of flow into each chamber?
Looking good
Keep em coming!!!
Spent quite a few hours tinkering with the tank today. First thing I addressed was the side curtains to cover the overflows. The cabinet guy had installed them with screws and brackets. While effective, once they were mounted and the tank slid in place, we would not have access to the rear. I designed an alternate mounting method using magnets and an L bracket. It looks just like it did and both sides are completely removable.
Very pleased with how it turned out.
Also spent some time installing the Apex components, including the head unit, PM2, WXM (will use Reeflink instead), Auto Leak Detector, and finally, mounted the MP40 and Vectra controllers. Mounted the power adaptors and all three of the EB8s. Even installed the auto fish feeder.
Hardest part was crawling through the attic to run the Ethernet lines from the modem to behind the tank. The Apex and the Reeflink will both be hard wired to the modem.
A ton of work, but a ton of fun!
Here is the rear of the tank when I called it quits for the day. Still have a ton of wire management to do. Of note, the MP40 in the center is hung from those zip-ties so that I can remove it from above if the need arises in the future.
Thanks for checking in.
