180g expansion

I am expanding my system by adding a 180g DT tank to my 120g DT and 80g sump. I have had the thing set in place for a while, just sitting empty and dry, but my rock should arrive on tuesday. I'll be aquascaping the tank wednesday and will hook up the plumbing on thursday. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/biggrin.gif I plan on making this an Eel tank with corals in it, but time will tell. I'll post pics as things go on. I am going to have to rethink how to set up my ATS though. Maybe I'll get a water tight container (so I dont have to worry about it overflowing) from somewhere and run a UAS system with a venturi pump or drain line from the 180g DT as the feed source and have a second bulkhead near the top of the container for the drain line. If anyone knows a good WATER TIGHT clear container that would work for this please let me know

 

If you could find a Coke plant, they may have a large barrel that you could use. They are not "clear" but I think you could probably see the water level on it. They are food grade and very sturdy. I used to have several...got them free /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif Good luck!

 

Unfortunelty that wont work for me, i need something thats not nearly that large in size and has to be clear, but i think i have found my solution. I am going to get some 4 or 6in clear acrylic tubing and have it about 2ft tall and have the water enter from the bottum and leave through the top, ill also use a screw on cap for the top to i can easily remove the ATS screen. I will try feeding it with my drain line from my DT and if that doesn't work i'll try a skimmer pump. If Floyd R Turbo sees this i would like to hear his opinion.
