wow its been two weeks time been flying by . Iv'e redone the om4 way like twenty times because it kept leaking. Paul at oceansmotions.com really came to my rescue and hooked me up with a different barrel.
Ok on with the updates
the sump has been drilled and set in place
the sump is now fitted with bulkheads for the phosban and the return lines
to explain my sump its a 240 that has been sectioned off. the water comes in and gets routed through the first chambers for carbon. the second chamber is for new fish and grow out of frags. the second chamber also had a pump that sends water to the phosban reactor then to my 3rd chamber (it the black area to the right about 75g) for my Remote DSB which dumps the water back into chamber 3
Chamber 4 is for cheato and return for my Calc and Kalk reactors and the return feed to my tank
I took these pics last week. I actually filled with water now .....
CHEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!
I know I know its about time. This has been 1 year in the making. I'm about 90% of the way done with the electric and plumbing and about 75% of the way on the equipment placement. Moving quick again starting to taste the salty water soon.

Aggghhh, I remember the excitement of this moment. Looking very nice. I still need to make time to come check out your tank and Jeff Brigg's tank. Very nice set ups to say the least. Have as many people you know with tanks in the area come by and give critiscim of where they think points of failure would be. It is amazing how sometimes the obvious can be in front of you, easy to fix, but only the eyes of a stranger can see it. It has helped me for sure.

it was a used 240g tank that I bought very cheap so it had some holes that needed closing. I will be using one of the holes as a sump overflow. What I mean is on the top of the sump will be another bulkhead in case 2 much water fills in the sump it will flow out of that bulkhead outside of the house instead of into the house.

I use the Waterbug Sensor without its power unit.
I route the wires into a DIY box for all the sensor leads and then from there a line goes to the PX-1000.
They gray line on the left is what is coming in from my DIY sensor "manifold".

Well, you know there are digital inputs on your controller and all you need to do is tie in the WaterBug's wires to the correct set of wires on the controller's digital input and enter it into your program. There is a connector cable you can get from Curt as well as a schematic to make your connections. It's fairly simple. You could also just go with an electronic float switch mounted at some critical line in the sump and tied into the controller.
I added the PX-1000 after I set up my ater sensor because I wanted the extra pH probe for my Ca reactor. I also use the digital inputs for a float valve in my collection bucket, and will soon set up another float valve to control my kalk doser pump. There is a lot of info. available on this in the Neptune forum.
