I’m sorry, but this is unacceptable. For the price of these aquariums there’s no way in hell you should have to deal with this. This should have been dealt with at the factory.

Excellent video!! I'm going to do the exact same thing on my WB 150.4 just to remove the "tricking" from the OF teeth. I also just noticed something else, the e-drain is a bit too close to these OF teeth letting some water "spray" up into the top of the e-drain. Your HACK will solve both problems and allow a trickle of the e-drain to not drop so far (due to the 45's) and decrease those sounds too. Well done :)

I know of a few things that you can get for getting out all of the water and it's just a good tool to have for whatever it may be ? what it is GOOGLE MILWAUKEE AIR-TIP 1 - 1/4 in. 2 - 1/2 in. Wet/ Dry Shop Vac Long Reach set ...... You could also get a dryer vent attachment for less than $10 and then always have a lint free happy Dryer. What alot of people will do is make it using PVC parts , and then different hoses etc. using a heat gun to shrink or expand in order to get it to work. GOOGLE Images to see what some examples of people who might have been breathing in some heat gun fumes lol😮

awesome video! Thanks for sharing and look forward to part 3, 4. Question: Lifting the tank on to the stand, was you and your wife/2 people enough? Was ensuring the tank was level once on the stand challenging? Thanks!!
@Saltyrootsjax Ай бұрын
I had two neighbors help lift the stand, and we definitely needed all three of us. The stand has leveling feet so I spent a fair amount of time getting that perfectly level before the tank was on. Once the tank was on it was also level.

What return pump are you using? I have same tank but peninsula the 6025 and I have been trying to quiet things down and have 3 areas creating noise 1 the return overflow weirs which after watching your video I ordered the fittings, so that will resolve that #2 the weirs in sump going from refugium to protein skimmer chamber, they water fall slightly at 600gph making a trickle noise, and 3 return pump sicce sdc 9 makes a pretty noticeable hum? Wondering if you have sump noise and what return pump are you using and how loud is it?

Why would you need to drill? Why not just submerge the tube?
@Saltyrootsjax Ай бұрын
You could make that work! You would just need to find a way to keep the tubing at the bottom as if it floated up, the siphon would break and no water would flow. Drilling this way and using a push connect fitting for the tube is just more reliable in my opinion.

At 1:06, how are you able to keep the trident lower than the sump? I thought you're suppose to keep it higher so it doesn't create a siphon
@Saltyrootsjax Ай бұрын
Ideally, you are right, that would be best practice. However, as long as it is running continuously and the tubing does not come disconnected, it should be okay. I’m working with very limited space so I don’t have much of a choice. But again, if you have the option, best practice would be to have it higher up.

Very nice tank bro. I have the 4’ frag from WB as well.. clean and modern tank ! Btw looking at the spot your tank is in, you might think about leaving at least 6” gap in the back to run wires and or access / pickup things that may fall back there. I have mine roughly 6” and I got a UV hidden back there. Also, I dumped their Ato reservoir as it’s not big enough and the evaporation is bad. So I got the Innovative Marine 15gal reservoir that sits on the side that lasts a week. Congrats on the upgrade bro cheers !
@Saltyrootsjax 2 ай бұрын
Thank you! Good call and I definitely did leave a fair amount of space on the back and that has helped with wires and equipment for sure. I did use the WB ATO and have noticed the evaporation rate but the bigger problem for me is size of the tank. As you can see, I have no space to the left or right of the display so no room for equipment outside of the cabinet. I may switch to a smaller/more compact ATO tank to free up more space in the cabinet.

Yes, I would definitely recommend running a sump when possible! There are various ways you can ensure it won’t overflow such as sizing the sump appropriately, making sure your return output nozzles are just below to surface of the water to minimize the amount of water siphoned when the power goes out, drilling a small siphon break hole in your return output, etc. Yes, the Pro Stars are made locally in Jacksonville!
