Coming along slowly but surely


So close so very close. One more line to run and I can finish glueing. My cls turned out to be a major pain.

It didn't start out quite this complicated. After giving my initial plan some thought I decided that there was going to be too much flow through the sump. Since I already had the 2nd Genx pump it became a 2nd cls. By doing so I had to add a couple more bulkheads and run a new line for the sump return.

Basically here's the setup. One cls has an OceansMotions Squirt on it(Boris). There are 4 outlets on this one, 2 come up from the bottom in the front corners of the tank and 2 enter from the back of the tank. The 2 in the front direct water up and towards the center. The 2 in back blow across the bottom under the rock. The second cls has 2 outlets, each one coming in from the top and directing water towards the opposite corner.
