I'm trying to make a similar circulation return!!! I'll post here how it goes! (90-180 degree rotation)

Cool.. I'll go to home depot today and see.. Thanks for replying.. I really appreciate it.

Any Ideas? Please?

I would like to build my own sea swirls. Does anyone have any links, or DIY ideas? It really can't be that hard to design a 90 degree rotating head. Any help? The reason for this is the 1" sea swirl isn't big enough to handle 2400 gph. I would like to build a 1 1/4 - 2" version of the sea...

I emailed sea swirl to see what they say. Thanks for your help - I hope they will build a 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" model. So - I guess no little filter?

I didn't think I needed the filter, but I've always got fine air bubbles, and particles floating in my water that the sump generates. That's another problem, but I thought the filter would catch a lot of junk... I'll look at the Mag 12 - maybe two opposite would be best! Thanks!!!

C'mon guys - I don't know you, but can you help? I'd like to do this closed loop system, but I want to make sure I am getting the right stuff. I don't think I can afford that Sea Swirl right now, but I can at least get the pump, and the "Big Blue" filter - if you guys think it would help *I...

This is the Mag Drive I was looking at. MAG-DRIVE 24 POND AND UTILITY PUMP(2400GPH) I think its more like 2400 GPH and that is fine too. I think once I put one of these inline, it will just push as hard as it can - probably more like 1500-2000 GPH after the filter and sea swirl thing...

I really like this product, but its kinda pricey. I want to run a closed loop through this in my tank with about 1200 GPH through 1" Tubing / Pipe. Anyone have any suggestions? Can 1" flow more than that? Which Pump? Is the Mag Drive any good? Will a regular 1 1/4" screen be okay for intake...

I'm bummed... He didn't make it.. Its 1:05PM and he's gone... After spending 6+ hours trying to keep him alive, I'm pretty bummed.. I thought I could do it.. Now I know how Doctors Feel when they lose a patient.. Bummer.. Thanks for all your help..

Hey Dave - I can't thank you enough.. HE MADE IT THROUGHT THE NIGHT!!!! ITS 12 NOON!!! His body doesn't seem as stiff anymore, although he's still not swimming. He's breathing pretty quick, and I gotta keep chasing the little hermit crabs off him, but he's doing OK.. I've found that holding...

OK Guys, I really need your help here.. I was fishing at the pier today, and the guy next to me caught a leopard shark about 6" He ripped the hook out, and threw it in the trash.. I yelled at him, and now I'm trying to save its life.. I took him home, and put him in my tank - he was...

What's that mean?
