You can set up a frag tank and start fraging away with all that great growth you have?

prsnlty · Apr 7, 2016

Lol, yeah I have and waiting on the cycle to finish

My big red monticap has to go since it's becoming a problem for others and I'll be PIF some frags for a couple of reefing friends when we meet up at RAP in a couple weeks. Can't wait

Forgot to add this one into this build thread, so...................................... adding.

(Jan 23, 2016.)So you're snowed in, bored, and have tons of time to kill, your a reefer so what do you do.............. hmmm........... I got it, build something............ but what.......... Mobile QT!!!

What I started with, yuk right!

Added some rollers (yes, I know they're called casters, work with me here)...

Done, now off to cleaning we go....

Painted and final assembly, what a day!

Not to bad a snow day project if I say so my self!

Few more picks, think I went a little over board on the PVC dryrock?

Very nice! I have a similar stand under my 20L. Is that going to be a breeding tank?

prsnlty · May 8, 2016

What kind of overflow box is that Alex? I haven't seen one of those before

kschweer · May 8, 2016

Can't wait for RAP NJ!!! See you there!! Great job on the QT project.

Thanks!!!
It's my "mobile" QT for new fish.... Rolls away for storage, rolls back into the room for new fish, and if needed I have a Reef Breeder LED for coral QT.

RLSS Over-Flow Box...

Picked it up after reading this on RB:
Most of the nicer new overflow boxes including the RLSS box are of the continuous-siphon kind, with a solid stream of water being channeled through the C-shaped siphon. Whereas CPR’s C-Siphon is designed with a nipple for removing air via some kind of suction, the uninterrupted white RLSS Overflow Box doesn’t. Hopefully this means they’ve figured out a way to size the path of the water through the siphon to be fast enough so that bubbles do not accumulate.

Perhaps the best feature of the RLSS Overflow Box is the inclusion of large Durso standpipes to quiet the noise of draining, gurgling water. It’s easy enough to add Dursos or Maggie Mufflers to existing overflow box but having enough space for a wide diameter silencing feature is not always a given. RLSS has only released these images of their overflow boxes in two sizes, and although we have no details of other specs, pricing or availability, we’d expect these to be comparable in price to the single and dual drain boxes by Reef Octopus.

Wow Mr MP, love it and I'm jealous. Maybe in a year or two after we find our house I can have a setup for no buckets. I don't lift anymore I just drag ( not quite) the buckets from the kitchen to the tanks. Then I use pumps for everything else. Great layout. But my question to all you guys. What's the point in having tanks if you can't sit next to the wife, relax and watch the fish

Well Bob sometimes you just need to have a reprieve from the better half.

But this is the setup that I have in the basement, there is 150 gallon system in the living room that sits next to a 65 inch TV that we rarely turn on anymore because we rather watch the fish in that tank. Couldn't tell you how many times I've had family over and all they ever do is gather around the fish tank and I'm not talking one or two, and this might be bad of me but none of my family members are let's just say light weights (including myself) so in the back of my mind I'm glad I reinforced the floor.
