Sure.  I have two darts running on closed loops.  They have two drains and four returns each (spa fittings).  That is about 800 gph out of each fitting. 
Then I have 1000 gph coming back from the sump on the return pump.  So for the closed loops I have 6 holes drilled for each pump. 
What other questions do you have?

Hi Adam,
 
I was quite interested in your water flow when we saw your tank during the Reef Tour. Can you tell us more about how you set it up and how it is working today?

I'll bet skimmer sludge is a problem for me.  I need to get on that.  It is difficult for me to get under my stand, remove the cup, and reach into the skimmer to clean.  That's why I only do it ever 4 months or so.
Dave- I feed my fish about once per 5 days or so???  Usually about one frozen cube of fish food.

My skimmer skims like crazy (~1/2 cup per day) if I clean the neck daily.  That sludge is a foam killer!  I really need to clean my skimmer neck again... I'm tired, I'll do it tomorrow.LOL

Skimate viscosity and build up of crud in the neck has everything to do with how far the bubbles have to rise to get into the cup. If the stuff is too thick it can be thinned - too thin, it can be thickened simply by adjusting the bubble height.
 
Placing a drain tube in a hole in the bottom of the cup saves a lot of work, though it should be checked periodically along with tankwater salinity just in case the bubbles go crazy on the odd day and too much saltwater foam goes down the drain.Smile

I have an ASM G3, and I really like it.  I'm like Tileman in that I overfeed my tank pretty heavily, but I still only have to empty the skimmer cup about once a month.  It's usually completely full of really thick slime by this time though and the riser tube in the middle of the cup has a thick layer of paste inside it.]]> Wed, 20 Dec 2006 22:52:11 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15673&PID=138933&title=adam-blundells-tank#138933
