Amazing tank! Can't wait to see coral and fish in it.
The reason for them to be on one side is because the return lines will be coming into the other end of the aquarium. Also it is a three sides viewable pinisula tank so adding them to the short viewing panel was not an option.
The total flow in the main tank is as follows.
The Return pump is a ReeFlo Goby Gold 4500GPH
The MP60WES pumps 7500 GPH Each
The closed loop is run with a ReeFlo Hammerhead Gold 5500GPH
The MP60 will be running on Reefcrest mode and will be set to alternate between the left and right sides. The goal is to creat random flow as mush as possible.
I'm hoping to build around a 600 gallon tank next year that will be a pennsula if I get things my way. So I will be very interested to see this configuration in action. When do you think you will fire this puppy up for testing ?
Just out of curiousity how much does the tank weigh? I notice you had all the reinforcement in the concrete, how thick did they have to pour the concrete? Do you have an idea of the approxiamate weight with water,rock,stand,tank? I'm kind of interested as I'm FINALLY having my sunroom/fishroom built. I'm building it for a 300gallon, but since its 18x16 I may eventually upgrade to a much larger tank and want to make sure the concrete floor I'm having put in would be able to take the additional weight... TIA
Updates??
