Nice pump, how many speeds?

KingOfPain86 · Oct 1, 2013

6 speeds! I have seen some videos of them and they look great. This weekend ill be getting it plumbed into the system.

Had to mess with the plumbing a bit. I'm the king of measure once and cut 5, 6, 8 times. Lol. Should be good now.

Sorry for not updating lately. Have been busy at work and have run in to problem after problem with my setup. I scraped the original sump out of frustration. Replaced it with a rubber bin. Now I have to run work all my plumbing. Will post pics soon.

Looking forward to it!

How are you liking the hydra I just purchased one. I also opted to go for the jbj rl45 so I wouldn't need a sump

KingOfPain86 · Dec 4, 2013

The hydra is great. I don't have the 52. It's awesome though. All the hitchhikers love it. Lol. Hopefully soon I'll get the director for it.

It's hard to find them. I got lucky and my LFS just happen to have one in their showroom. Mine cost me less then $200. I love mine fits perfectly in the nook under my stairs. Let me know if their is anything I can help you with.

Did you do anything to the plumbing? I replaced all the Deep blue cheapo stuff and the water rushing into the overflow is really loud.

Yes. I completely redid everything. I used the plumbing that came with the if my refugium. I made a durso that was to short and had a lot of noise with that on due to the water flowing through the overflow and falling. It was way to short. The second one I made is about an inch below the overflow and is dead silent.
