18' x 9' x 3.5' catfish tank build in progress.....

[tcarswell]

Here’s the rundown on the pump motor. The service factor of 1.65 means that it is constructed with more copper than a standard motor, so basically it will last forever. The bearings don’t last for ever though. It is also a continuous duty motor (says so on the tag). The listed hp rating is the peak horsepower. The brake horsepower is 1.24hp due to the service factor. This means that the motor is really capable of supplying more power than advertised, which is why it is also rated for continuous duty.

The power draw is:
1512 Watts per hour at 120V
1386 Watts at 220V

I wasn’t able to find a pump curve for that model, but using comparable models it will pump 3900-4400 gph.


The smaller pump's power draw is 480 Watts at 120V.

Do you work in the ventilation/refrigeration field as well ? I could not have said that better myself with experience since birth

Yeah, the instructions come from the taking it apart stage. lol. After that it's just remembering where everything goes, but when you've done a few it's not that bad, just time consuming. You can't tell it but there's actually some metal wire ran through the center of the spinal column to give it some added support. I still have about another 100 pieces left before it's finished. I also have to fix a slight mistake that is hindering progress. My only regret so far is that it's tail came out slightly tattered. Everything else is nearly perfect save for some half healed broken ribs and vertebrae.

Was that a Dat ??

Technically it still is, but yes. I'm doing this for a member on here that will remain annonymous unless he choses other wise. I'm also currently working on a jaguar cichlid, and a gar for other members as well. Anyone who would like to get one done I'm still offering my services, but there's a waiting list and you shouldn't expect to get it back anytime soon. The process is very time consuming for the price I do.
