jaywee Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 MAME Design Overflow. This thing is amazing. So well crafted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaywee Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Is there an English manual anywhere for these MAME overflow? I wish I paid attention during japanese class! Would have come in handily now. I'm clearly not doing it right but I can't squeeze the vinyl pipe in anymore. Is this too far apart? According to the manual it's suppose to 3mm. So this is too wide. But it won't budge. I've tried the hot water method. Ain't budging. Snyone here with a MaME? Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaywee Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 After a few days of scaping, I net out with this 10/90. Light(10%) on the left plane and heavy(90%) on the right plane. I'm trying to have more negative space. In the long run I might add some short tiny islands to give it more texture and some depth depending on the corals I'm gonna populate with. Why that tall pillar on the right? Scroll down. Ha got myself a custom miniature figurine that sits on the very tip of the pillar. If my calculations are right, it will sit perfectly on the water surface. Mr Scuba Diver looking down at the "Ocean". And he has two turbo snails to chill with. Any thoughts or pointers? I;m not sure if I am 100% satisfied but so far after so many different variations, this is the one I'm most comfortable with right now.

SRC Member Angel Keeper Posted December 16, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted December 16, 2014 Looking at the design of the sump, the flow leading to the return pump will be a downward flow. This will cause bubbles in the main tank as the bubbles will be sucked into the return pump. Angel Keeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have baffles between the fuge to the return section. Hoping that will minimize on any micro bubbles. I might do the Sponge between the baffles too to trap 'em.

Ian Joseph Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 love the diver. Quick question, how big is ur refugium? Quote Best regards and Happy Reefing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaywee Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 love the diver. Quick question, how big is ur refugium? Thanks man. The fuge compartment is within the sump. I think its probably 3-4 gallon. Measurements approx 5" X 15". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Joseph Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Would a fuge of that size be sufficient ? am just wondering cos am planning on mine and am not sure if its too small. Thanks Quote Best regards and Happy Reefing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaywee Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Would a fuge of that size be sufficient ? am just wondering cos am planning on mine and am not sure if its too small. Thanks I guess it really depends on what u gonna put in your refugium but my tanks is only 32 gallon so it's more than enough for me. I'm not putting sand. I'm just gonna have live rock rubble, chaeto and some mangrove. What's your tank size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaywee Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Is one kessil light enough? More than enough for my tank. And I'm only at 50%-60% intensity. Any higher my corals will get cranky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaywee Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 FTS 12.24.14 Front A little unorganized now but I'll be moving things around depending on the growth rate of the corals. Had to get rid of a lot of big colonies I had and just kept mostly frags to populate this tank. I real want to see it grow out especially the strip of Zoa Island in the front. The right tall pillar will eventually be stocked with pointy SPS and it'll look like a Spike Club. Real gansta. FTS 12.24.14 Top Close up of some of my better pieces. This Wellso swells up like a giant beef cake. My fav Rastas My 2nd Fav Pink Zippers My little Ponape Birdsnest Shrine being worshipped by Acans. I love Ultra neon lime green and orange rhodactis. Really slow grower though. This is a newly acquired piece. Aussie Gold Torch. I like how thick it looks compared to the regular torches. War Coral.
