Luvreefs23 90 gallon progress

what is the white thing around the baffle? a holder or something?

 

yes. lil piece of epdm rubber, not needed , but i put for added stability for the first wall

 

whats up with an update man ... im smokin you

 

jk .... my tank is filled now though. had some problems w/ baffles of course. sup w/ yours

 

What kinda probs u have with yer baffles? Leaks? I did my sump leak test on friday nite...no leaks. I was pretty happy needless to say. I leveled the tank and put about 65 gallons of water in her last nite. The last of the 30 or so gallons is being made at home as i sit at work rite now. Ill try to get some pics tonite if i dont get to involved with making sure the sump doesnt overflow or anything stupid like that. I was also making sure my return and drain didnt leak anywhere...so far so good.

 

Well i have some updates on the 90, its not much as far as pics go but its something. I finished the sump and tried the baffles, working perfect...thank God. No plumbing leaked, and i got the tropic marin salt in...im at 1.023 Target is 1.025, just got lazy and wanna go to bed. Here it is:

















I love the drawstring filter sock, reduces the bubbles too, not to mention the over spray from popping bubbles has been eliminated. Skimmer is going in once i run my dedicated gfci outlet.

 

extend the drain for the filter sock so its inside of the sump. that way when the bag gets full the overflow will go into the sump and not on the floor

 

It is, the drain is 2 inches below the water level in the drain section

 

kewl, those suckers fill up fast, do you have extras? bleach works wonders in the washing machine, i use these
