Current plan is to add a calcium reactor and kalk stirrer, although all levels are pretty stable at the minute !

thanks for the replys guys !

Lisa: i could'nt get a decent picture of the star's, the camera wont focus so close thru the glass http://www.ultimatereef.net/ibv3/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif

Lighting is supplied by 2 x 250wt 10k blv's & 1 x 150wt 20k blv, the lights are the compact ones from STM, look bloody awful on the brackets though :mad:

You guessed right JSS, its a blue sponge, i posted a better pic in the main forum if you want to take a look !

Cheers
Nick.

Hello Nick

Nice looking tank, how does the overflow work good? bad?.
The reason i ask is my tank is drilled but i cannot get the output from 2 x 1060's down the drilled hole. I was just thinking maybe i could add an overflow such as yours and adjust it up/down via a valve.
Any thoughts much appreciated Nick.

Hi Overflow(phil), the overflow works just fine. occasionally it will get air in the u bend you will have to start (re)syphon to get it going again, but that only happens about once a month.

It can be a little noisey though, usual plug-hole syndrome http://www.ultimatereef.net/ibv3/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif Can be cured easily though.

I can post up some pics if you want.

Nick what sort of siphon box are you using, homemade or a schuran type? If its a homemade job how about some pics/diagrams?

[CoralCulture]

Hi WetWeston,

Its a Amiracle box, slowing into an Amiracle sump. Although the sump will be replaced in a couple of weeks.

The syphon box was modified slightly to make it sit lower in the water, plus egg crate/small amount of filter floss in the 2nd chamber of before it goes down the tube. Otherwise it sounds like a drain !

If you do a search I am sure you will find some pics I posted before.

If not, shout and I will snap some more !

Nick
