No, it isn't too late, it just will cost you more to replace it. ;)

Reeftanks6 12/31/2007 09:01 PM

lol i think it will be fine i will just add two powerheads for flow

melev 12/31/2007 09:03 PM

It isn't about flow in the tank, as much as allowing the pump to work properly without overheating in the sump. However, for now feel free to observe how it works for you. When you have some extra cash, swap it out to the larger size as recommended and I think you'll be happily surprised.

Reeftanks6 12/31/2007 09:06 PM

yea thats what i will probably do if it doesnt work out but i think ill be fine and the water gets real cold down there so it will heat it up a little and the pump can pump the water up 15 ft and its only like 12 ft

Reeftanks6 12/31/2007 09:09 PM

i will be finishing up the plumbing tomorrow then its ready for water!!!!!!!!!

Thanks you to iam starting out great for the new year

mitchellmoto 01/01/2008 08:31 AM

Nice start you have going there.

I'd like to throw in my 2 cents but please don't take it the wrong way I'm not trying to be rude.

These guys are giving you some valuable info and advice but you don't seem to keen to accept any of it, your plumbing is flawed and these guys are trying to help you along.
Last month I helped a local pet store setup their plubming and they were doing the same thing you are except only 7 1/2 feet of head and using the same pump. After I expressed my concern for the plan several times and they insited I went ahead and did what they ask, only to do it over when it didn't work. You could barley feel much flow threw the return.

That pump will be working overtime and you will be lucky to even get 500gph return.
Please listen to these guy most have more experience then you could shake a stick at. And Melev certainly has the experience and even quite a few tanks going.

And good luck I truely hope everything work out for you! :)

Reeftanks6 01/01/2008 09:38 AM

ok thanks

mikeatjac 01/01/2008 10:03 AM

I have a fish room in the basement and the difference you will see by increasing the pipe size will be huge. I bet you do not come close to your expectations. Also, the pump will have to work harder.

I was in the same boat as you at one time. I had a chiller with 3/4 fittings. My flow was terrible. So I had to run second return line to make everything work.

Far cheaper to address the issue now.

Reeftanks6 01/01/2008 02:29 PM

i am taking your info i just want to see how it works out first then i will make my change just got done plumbing will post pictures tomorrow

chrismunn 01/01/2008 02:49 PM

ok update i am thinking of a fish list and wont to post two fish that i want one of these will be a tang it will be a little crouted with that but....
So its either a Powder Brown or chocolate tang i did have a purple in mind but in a 90 which is pushing it for 2 i didnt want the purple and sailfin fighting so i thing if i add either a powder brown or chocolate tang it wont be that bad. I also want some kind of foxface. Just tell me what your experince is with these fish.

gabe3d 01/02/2008 10:56 PM

Good job so far, looks good! BTW what are you using to light your 37G, is it VHO?

Reeftanks6 01/03/2008 07:13 AM

no its a regular flouresent i got it online its like 50 watts it will be alright for know
Update well my uncle came over to my house to check out the plumbing we are changing some things. There is also Water in the tank know!!! Since it is such a high distance up the water flow is somewhat lower then i wanted it so i will just add powerheads if i dont go and get anthor pump
