Weir installed :) now I have to finish the sketchup for the weir cover and comb

Hey Azza, are you planning high internal flow for this tank?

 

[lukusis]

.....as the water level will be high(?).

Nope - as in his choice of corals :D

Ahhh, gotcha.

Was looking at the pics thinking the weir glass is already high, and with a comb on top, even higher *shrugs*

Azza would have his water level touching the lip of the glass if he could get away with it. Just the way these Cade owners like things done :p

Yep, weir is 460mm high, tank is 500mm, with the comb, add 20mm so 20mm from the top :)

high flow yes, i have a rw8 pump and may replace it with a single vortech mp40wes

 

[slin1977]

How are the rw8? I am thinking about getting more cheap flow.

 

[Azfish]

good cheap flow! can hear them but not too bad

 

[NiCd]

what scape are you going with?

 

[Azfish]

Not sure yet, I keep thinking to use the over flow as rock platforms for corals, just glue black plates to the overflow and hope they hold!! In addition to that thought, i just picked up some base rock (thanks, you know who you are!) so will play around with them to get an idea on scape.

Water tested the weir today, happy to report, no leaks into the weir so its water tight!

I have a few boxes of roche around if your looking for anything fancy

Weir has been finished. Used Krylon Fusion black to paint the standpipes.
