RJ,

You're welcome.  That's the least I can do since you custom built the most awesome canopy a gal could wish for and spent hours helping install my new lighting equipment.  If you like using that pond foam so much, I have an overflow box you can re-spray (for those of you who don't know... I accidentally separated my foam from my overflow by monkeying and wrestling with the box - trying to place it back in my tank... uggg... it had colored nicely over the past few months).  I'm not looking forward to re-spraying the overflow box because pond foam and I are NOT friends.  Got a ton on my hands last weekend and couldn't get it off (tried nail polish remover, goo gone and some orange stuff Mary had).  Resorted to a dremel drill which worked wonders in removing the foam, but beat the @#*$ out of my hands!  Words to those of you who decide to take this course of action... wear gloves as directed!

Hey Kimber, I don't have any Black Foam on my hands, so I won't need to resort to a dremel.  

I made some time to get back to my project, and decided not to do a closed loop, but I did make use of the SCWD with my return pump.

Here are a few pics

Left end installed

Right end

Of course the back

Waiting patiently while I finish the new digs

Done, the wave action is pretty cool, although I haven't timed it. It seems to change direction about every 5 seconds

nice lookin setup rj. can barely tell u have anything on the back of the tank.

what size return pump are you using? does the scwd add much head?

Thanks, BuK. The return pump has a 3700 l/hr about 950 gallons/hr. flow rate, but since it flows from 2 spray heads now instead of the 1 I had originally the flow is a bit less intense.

Good to hear that you like it.

I'm looking at one now since they're only $40. Probably be pushing about the same amount of flow as you are. Return flow, for me, isn't that big of an issue. I'll use Koralia's for the flow. What I want is the alternating flow.

Oops, I forgot to put in a vent hole in the plumbing and ended up flooding the sump last night.      I've since fixed the problem.

No more floods
