Chameleons would be a good fish room occupant, the higher humidity would be great for an open air enclosure. CB Jacksons will be hard to come by but I can check out west for you.
8000 gph....wowsers. That's more than they recommend for any of their top mounted Ultima IIs, are you running a Ultima II 6000? You could run a SL 200 watt UV sterilizer at 8000 gph but it would probably cost you >$1400.

Hey Glen,
Not sure if we can talk price here so can you pm me what it cost you to have the tank built? I have a supplier for the glass just need a builder. I also like the idea of the 2 part stand, can you send me that info as well?
Thanks,
Ron

Hey Glen,
Are they on order? Just wondering cause my Hagen rep was looking into the Lagunas you asked about. I think I am going with an Aqua Ultraviolet, Eric (EEYY) has good prices on them.

Hey Glen,
Sorry I should have been more clear on what situation I was worried about a leak for. I am worried that if the power goes out and for some reason my pipe breaks at the pump intake. So now it's a free flowing siphon, with your set up a hole in the elbow will break the siphon when...
Hey Glen,
I meant in the event that some part of the closed system fails and water is allowed to drain (i.e. pipe failure).
I am thinking of using an Ultima II 2000 for my 450 gallon but I may have to use a bigger pump than they recommended as will be going through a mechanical filter, UV...
Hi Glen,
Thanks for the posts, your 600 gallon is similar to what I was thinking but you still can drill a hole in the elbow of your intake to break the syphon in the event of a leak, I am planning to drill from the bottom and using a stand pipe up. I guess I can use a 12" stand pipe so if...
Thanks Glen, that would be great. It would be awesome if I don't have to waste space with overflows.
Not going with sump, my plan is tank -> pump -> Ultima II -> Mechanical filter -> UV Sterilizer -> tank. I may put an inline heater in the system but haven't decided yet. I was thinking of...
Hello,
Just reading the Ultima II manual and they recommend for aquarium set ups to place the pickup (drain) on the bottom of one side of the tank and the return to the top of the opposite side of the tank. Is this safe with a closed system or do you think it's too risky? Do you think the...
At one point I had 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 tortoises, 6 Panther chameleons, 2 Kimberly Rock monitors, 16 Asian ratsnakes and 90 or so Ball pythons. Pets deinitely didn't help when it was time to list the house.
No problem. They are a great display animal but not so great for handling, most I've dealt with will gap, hiss and try to bite when you try and get them out of their enclosure.
