Aquaculturing system in all glass room

[jrod11]

Hi Everyone,

A buddy of mine is moving into a house that has an ALL GLASS workout room in his backyard. He has been collecting corals for a while now and he asked me to make a design and post it on here for feedback and suggestions. (he doesnt use RC.) The workout room walls and cieling are glass the house has this, he thought this would be an excellent opportunity to take out the workout equipment and build an aquaculturing system.


He already has to following equipment he had hope to use in the system:

-300 gallon rubbermaid tub
-80 gallon frag tank
-220 gallon "L" shape tank (going to be sump and storage

The "L" 220 gallon tank will be divided in half. One half will become the sump/fuge, and the other half will be a storage area for salt water for the water changes.

Here is a design that we hope to get some feedback and was also wondering if anyone has any experience using natural sunlight with a greenhouse. Thanks and looking forward to any suggestions!

Try posting this under the coral propagation and aquaculture section. I bet you will get plenty of feedback there.

Looks like a good idea to me, though.

awesome idea.. I think much better use of the space could be possible though.

The last setup was a little tight and since he has the room, it would be nice to spread it out. I guess it might affect the head loss of the pump the longer the pipes are though.
