Nox Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Hello everyone, just want to share my process of building a tank with a remote sump setup. Moving over from a 3 foot setup, I wanted to make a built in setup that would be easy to maintain and of course looks great and runs silently. Here are some photos of what the house looked like before my reno, where the tank would go and where the sump would be at the back of the house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nox Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Some of the piping done up , more than enough capacity in the pumps to run all sorts of reactors Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nox Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 Rock scape is done and the tank is up ! Still figuring out how to program the new hydra hd , using my old hydra 26 with the new 52 hd. It is sadly not compatible on the online interface and has to be programmed separately. The colour tone of the hydra hd is also much bluer and less purplish than the previous generation non hd. Hopefully I can start stocking it up soon! Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leejwa Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I am using both hydra and HD like you as well and it is very trouble some to program both but the good thing is you can save the setting file and just transfer over. The hydra HD can be pair up as well with one being the " parent " controlling the rest as "child" .
