    Re: newbie just thought id say HELLO

    iam going to run 2 pipes one longer than the other in the weir section , Ive sorted the ball valves so there now 32mm internal bore, iam just wondering if my ocean runner 6500 will cope with the flow , one pipe will be open full and the other just adjust back slightly , this will stop the flushing sound. there's going to be a lot off water running into the sump hopefully the Ats will slow it down a bit ,

    does anyone no a free program for drawing and posting onto net

    Neat idea. What's the power and K of those bulbs? They will be a good start, and you can double them for higher power.

    Be sure to put a reflector on the outside of the sump, to keep the light in.

    hi sm the bulbs are 18w each 3500k, going to rap it in diamond foil which is what there using now in hydroponics, should help with the grow rate of the algae, filled the sump with water today ,NOT A LEAK , cheeking to see if the sump would handle the water from the weir if there was a power cut .
