    Look up dragonfly DF 5050 has a bit higher flow rate. 4500 liters at 3m head but parts are available from 2 suppliers online. They have a DF 3050 but that's only good for 1500 liters at 3 m head

    Finished off the plumbing earlier this evening. Just need to add the pump now when I want to add water.

    Looking at the pic I think I must shorten the pvc pipe coming from the sump otherwise the ring clamp is going to be in the water. I didnt glue that elbow joint just in case I need to remove the plumbing for whatever reason so this is easily done

    I'd cut it for sure. Otherwise you'd have issues when that start rusting

    Moved this tank into position and added a 14L bag of akadama. Will add the other bag once I get the rocks and arrange them as I want them.

    Well I had a teeny tiny sense of humour failure on Friday, was NOT my proudest moment :lol:
    The hubby saw danger and booked us 3 in for a night away (last night) to get out of the building site. Bless him :) had a nice Mother’s Day.
    By the end of the week I should have the kitchen back, touch wood. Most of the other rooms ought to be done too. But they’re now going to dig two 80x80x80cm holes to inspect the foundation so the jackhammers will be back probably on Tuesday...

    I got 8 hera jerdoni for this tank yesterday. Unfortunately 1 DOA but the other 7 are looking good. They can live in a 2ft tank until this tank is up and running. Couldn't let this opportunity pass by.
