That's gonna be a great functional sump, but I think Dave hired some help for the etching.

DAS AQUABEE 2000/1 Needlewheel

[cali_reef]

Here it is dudes!

Thanks..

Are there little holes drilled on the needle wheel? never seen that before.

Yes they are. This is a pic I took when Rich was here with his BX3. My needlewheel looks a bit different. I will take pics of that also. Mine has no holes drilled in the needlewheel. The magnet also looks a bit different.

There are some subtle differences between his BX3 and my BX3. The filter chambers and Weirplate to raise and drop the waterlevel are completely different.

 

[spykes]

i got a question, where is the pics of everything running rich?

 

[jackson6745]

Before

After (I just finished) need to make everthing neat 300less watts run 24/7 and the tank runs 5 degrees cooler I actually need a heater now

The DAS BX-3 plugged in for 5 mins....only time will tell

Wow Rich, what a difference. It's like you had a garage sale. Now you can use those savings for something else. Good move.

Not much savings there dude.

 

[jackson6745]

Actually once I sell my equipment I did make a few bux + the electrical savings will be huge.
