spspirates 150 gallon build

[spspirate]

Took me forever to find that info and what I needed.

Yea there's not much on it. So maybe we can learn from each other on here. I didn't have to go with black ABS but I'm in no big rush and I wanted it to match. It's basically the BeanAnimal concept. I can't wait to see the Ghost in action. I hope it's quite as they say.

I finally found what I needed on another site and one pic of the piece like you posted was all I could find. Mine are white though. Mine is definitely silent. Standing next to the tank I can't hear a thing.

 

[spspirate]

Awesome! Do you have a build thread I'd like to check it out!?

 

[weaponsofmassdesign]

Not for this tank I don't. Plan to start a new thread soon for all my tanks and more coral pics. I've got an old thread that you've commented in before.

Did you purchase a Reef Savvy or just the Ghost Overflow?

 

[weaponsofmassdesign]

Yep straight from Reef Savvy.

 

[weaponsofmassdesign]

Oh no sorry not a tank just the overflow.

 

[spspirate]

Awesome!! Here is a pretty cool article I'm reading from Bean Animal.com to better understand the fluid dynamics of how this type of overflow works and what makes it a great choice. http://www.beananimal.com/projects/silent-and-fail-safe-aquarium-overflow-system.aspx

Intermission photos. These are two pics I took from my old reef of the Jason Fox Crazy Fox and The GOW chalice.

i think i missed it iwas trying to find it what skimmer you going to be going with?

I'll be running a Deltec APF800 for the initial start of the reef. Plans are to get the ATB 1050 in the near future.

Thanks man! It's a sweet look and a solid skimmer. I'm glad I was able to score it from a local reefer.
