ZUSKA's 65 gallon thread

[Zuska]

I had a 65 gallon tank and all you know i had really bad ick. so i took everything apart and got better equipment such as a ASM G2 skimmer with mod on it instead of the seaclone 100. Better lights i think there the 36 inch sunpod with 150w in each bulbs well 300w is enough for me, 9 led moon lights and 9 led white lights.

This set up is a disaster waiting to happen:lol2:.

Zuska, is your drain pipe affixed to the sump? Is seems ready to spray saltwater onto the power strip to the right.

thanks cali reef for the nice comment i bet we all started bad at first but i have been doing alot of reading and know what im doing now.

Honestly, you need to stop and look at your setup. It really is a disaster waiting to happen. It might be the possible fire, water damage, tank over flow, or one of the many other things I'm sure could go wrong. But if I were you I would listen to the above two. Cause that drain pipes just dying to get to that powerstrip .

oook what can i do about that? can i buy like to attach it or do i need to get a new drain pipe?

 

[nanoreefer22]

Attach your power strip to the side of the stand above the ground so if water spills over it won't get to it.

You could plumb you drain with PVC or you could find another way to attach it to something in your sump that won't move.

Don't know about the overflow box, maybe someone else will chime in. Get HOF to drill it?

You should seriously consider drilling the tank before it's too late. this is a ticking timebomb to flood.

umm

yeah i would move the powerstrip high up and attach some pvc piping to the hose to make it long enough that it wont come out....why dont you get a 10 gallon or 15 for your sump.....

 

[Zuska]

i cant drill it tempered glass if it wasnt trust me i would have drilled it already. umm chime it? what u mean?

 

[nanoreefer22]

The ENTIRE tank is tempered????

 

[Zuska]

[Zuska]

Sorry...you do not.
All the advice given to you, seemed to go right over your head.
My 1st FOWLR tank was set better than that & that was from advice given at Petland.


Get a friggin sump.


That rubbermaid is leaning to the side.


I doubt that back glass is tempered.

definately make sure you make a drip loop. next time do a little more research.

 

[Zuska]

drip loop??? lol i didnt know that much about over flows. this is the problem my pump is pumping more water up then the over flow is bringing down...

 

[JHOV2324]

it looks like u have way too much crushed coral....thats gonna be bad 4 ur water

 

[JHOV2324]

put a valve on the pump to lower output
