Just added 4 different flow pattern's giving more of a area specific outlet:) Once I am finished and you see them work I would be happy to upgrade yours to your choice:)

Spinner that flow set up is awesome. Wish I was smart enough to make one of them there flow deals.
Smart has nothing to do with it I just try different things until I find something I like. You can look at the picture and copy, how it works on the inside is up to you:)

MF4.jpg MF2.jpg MF snall spinning eyes.jpg MF3.jpg $(KGrHqJ,!lQFBhPb(d2MBQpR+WqSug~~60_35.jpg For anyone wanting to build a MO FLOW if you have been watching the evolution of them here is a list of materials. Using this and my pics will help you DIY if wanted....I won't tell you how I make the one's that don't spin...SPIN I don't want to do all the work...lol
I now am using swimming pool outlet face plate's as they have both slip and MPT, I use the MPTs:)
Next I use a 1 1/2" TXS coupler* you can use TXT coupler but will need to work out your connection's to tank. I use the TXS coupler this will allow you many options for down sizing and tank connection. On some I also use sch 80 fittings....The large coupler allows several ways to accelerate flow if wanted....:)
This is how I set up 14 outlets:
I have these on the front top 2 outlets.
I have these on bottom front 2 corners.
I have these on back top 2 corners...small spinning eyes.
I have these on tank middle field both 2 back and 2 front.
I have 1 of these on each end of DT.
I have these on top 1@1/3 and 1@1/3 of DT.


I can't now as I am trying to finish my build but if you don't want to do a DIY I would be happy to build them........like next month:)

Thank You A3:)
Yes 13,000gph of random vortex flow should feel pretty good to the marine life. I know my Jacuzzi sure feels good to me and its not random...lol

Always tweaking......
Removed elbow on Flowolf supply line....

Install one of four close loop feed's....doing all of plumbing with sch 40 clear since low light areas. Also will give nice viewing when using air injection:)

I have such a large pvc bone yard and still always need something I don't have...lol

Here I am planning my built on skimmer's bracing....will look so cool when finished.....*Built on Skimmer stands are bolted to frame so it moves if DT moves.


NOTE: White Krylon so much nice than plan white pvc......nite & day:)

Looks good mace, I'll have to come by and check out the progress again soon. I'm definitely going to paint up all my pvc with the new tank.

Ur tank is supposed to be for viewing fish and coral. I wonder if ur tank will ever have fish and coral in it....lol


Hot Dogs are GOOD!
To be honest I can't really say it will anytime soon:( I broke the unwritten big tank build law over the weekend and added up what it is going to cost me to finish............I thought I was closer than the numbers showed:( Looks like I have another six months before water test:afraid:

That's a big mistake my friend. I started to add up my costs once but quickly realized I didn't want to know. I have a Friend that came over and was checking out the tank his quote was " wow this is amazing! What did this run you, about a thousand dollars?" I laughed so hard a d he had no idea why I was laughing
