did some work on light rack...solaris is TOO heavy for aluminum rack, have to re-build it with steel, also need to remove, and re-install ceiling light, that would interfere with rack

By setting up the main returns with the ball valves, will it silence them or will it still have that annoying flushing sound?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
YES, it will silence them..if you check out the link, its called the SILENT, and FAIL SAFE Overflow System...the ball valves allow you to 'fine tune', the overflows, and make them silent! http://beananimal.com/projects/silent-and-fail-safe-aquarium-overflow-system.aspx

UNBELIEVEABLE...I can see the place, from my deck! Owner says that he will rebuild...WHAT 'LUCK', he ALREADY HAD the plans, approvals and permits!
.
Last night, I moved and re-installed the ceiling light
decided to stay with the aluminum light frame...but for stability/safety added 2 more tracks in center, and a top, cross bar to keep all 4 rollers aligned. (tracks will extend 5-6 ft. additional, to clear tank, outline on ceiling, is the dimensions of the tank)
tonight, I hope to build the T5 racks...1 set will be on the tracks, so as to move out of the way, when necessary, however, since it is very hard to do any work in the tank with NO light, I decided that the rear row of T5s will be able to stay over the tank, but I will mount them on a 'venetian blind' frame, so that I can raise them easily, out of the way, and still have light

cant wait for the water to get in tank,need big naso and some angels swimming around in there to give it some life.
Thank you, Sir
Slight Delay on adding water...been in Hospital since Friday night, (Heart problems), need additional hospital stay in 2-3 weeks, so I can not do any lifting or real work on tank for 5-6 weeks
. I've already warned Doctors, that they must have me, back in shape, for the April Swap!
LMAO! at April swap deadline..Alfie, take it easy man..This tank is going to give me heart problems just following the thread and I havent even seen it in person! You've been working hard on it and it will pay off, but take it easy Alfie! All in due time! This tank is still tank of the year:trooper:, even with no water/ fish/ corals in it! Your 90% there. Take some time off.:tub:

+1 take care of yourself 1st. ditto on helping hands. i'm free most sundays, willing to help out.
Really need to thank everyone, for their PMs, RBs, and phone calls, with their kind words and offers to help...I really appreciate it...Its what really sets this community FAR above any other. The worst part of the hospital stay was NO access to MR !
