No I don't. Trying to find some at the LFS's. Thanks Glen, my return pump is fine and with the pool acid, I will get the oceanrunner for the skimmer also going. Really appreciated!

Thanks Glen. I don't have a pool, so it didn't cross my mind.

I've cleaned the Sicce return pump, but the oceanrunner is giving me a head ache. How do I get the impeller out? The pump is laying around for many years now. What could I use to break down the calcification inside? I've tried lemon juice, but that seems to be to weak.

I'm not a friend of changing aqua scaping. It has to be good if not perfect in the first place and then don't touch it. With the three pillar formation I'll have a tiny foot print in the gravel and no problems with dead zones or extreme hiding places. Having to returns, I can change the flow any...

Just to show the detail of the T-piece, how it goes over.

Haha, you really should take your time when reading. I posted this: No normal person would make such overflow. Count the fittings and check out the prices. I used the fittings I had. They were already glued to old tubing, which I don't use anymore. So I "cleaned" them out with a dremel...

That is one of the reason why I decided to post this thread. A unique situation, using whatever I can from what I've got laying around, actually forced one to think out of the box. Usually I would have build a new tank with marine ply, stainless stell stand, starfire glass, latest equipment...

I posted this : Now the two T-piece are not connected to the overflow. I used the dremel to be able to push them over the pipes. Compare the two pictures without the T and Y-piece. Nothing has changed. I just pushed the T and Y-piece over the existing pipe. But you made me think now. I have...

And where is this sketch?

With a normal glass drill bit. The only pain is to get out the core. When the rock is thicker then the drill bit, you have to break out the core first to go deeper. That's the only tricky part. It take not more than 10 minutes per hole.

Of course it will be a masterpiece. I do have a masters degree. Haha, thinking of the overflow. Masters degree in plumbing. Coincedence?;)

While @seank put down some wise words (and they really are), I finally managed to come up with a solution for my space problem. The overflow ends up in the sump right underneath where the water overflows. After the water goes down through the whole tank, it goes down into the cabinet and then...

Thanks Sean, but there seems to be a misunderstanding. That's why I edited my post. There is a problem with cash flow, so I'm far away from being fortunate. :(

Not sure if they stay where they are, but just to get an idea what I'm trying to do here. Need more dry reef rocks. Anyone got some?

I just drilled quickly a few rocks I still had. 38mm holes to fit over the overflow.

I'm actually quite surprised that this tank is only 1.5x1.2x0.6m. It looks so much bigger to me. And there is so much detail in there. Brilliant! The pictures suck, if i may say so. @seank What are you doing today?

Good question, but if you would keep the male with his babies in a separate tank, the male would eat his own offspring. So in anyway, they get eaten up. That's why he usually spits them into a diadema urchin. If there is one avilable. You can make one and see how it goes.;) Actually I must go...

Well, I would keep an eye on him. They like to nip a lot. Make sure he get's enough food, otherwise he might find it in your tank.;) The reason why Windhoek is, that's the only word on the bottle a German really understands. REINHEITSGEBOT!

Hi Sean, I can help out here. It's the Centropyge multispinnis. Not sure how big yours is (I mean the fish), but for a multi spined dwarf, his colours are phenomenal. Oh, I drink Windhoek. :1:
