Captain Crunch was my Dad... He kinda hit the dock alot! :rollface:
The Plan.....
96 x 30 x 30 (374Gal) Combo Reef with Frag Tank & Refugium.
This will be Partially in-wall with a fish room in back.
This project in under the tutelage of Mark Callahan http://www.mrsaltwatertank.com
and
A shout out to John Holcomb @ Dallas North Aquarium http://www.dallasnorthaquarium.com/ 'thanks for the help. its great to work with you again!'
and
Naomi @ Gulf Coast Reef and Aquatics, http://www.gcreef.com/ the source for all of the resident swimmers!
Equipment List:
Tank & Stand from DAS in Dallas,TX
Apex Controller
2) Vortech MP60ES
4) Vortech MP40ES
Hydor Performer 2005 Skimmer
BRS Large Canister Carbon & GFO
GEO 618 Ca Reactor
7) Rapid LED Onyx Dimmable Lights (5 on Display, 1 on Frag, 1 on Ref)
2) Fluval Heaters (200w & 300w)
Rock: 350lbs from http://www.marcorocks.com/dryrock.aspx
Sand: 240lbs Tropic Eden Reef Flakes (1 1/2" Sand Bed)
TBD:
Frag Tank Size
Sump Size
Return Pump
Major Obstacles....
200 Amp Main AC power line to the house runs through the wall I am cutting out!.. that should be the fun part.
This is the wall between the Living Room and Garage. The Garage is 3" lower than the Living room. There is also a plumbing drain obstacle as there is none, and no good way about it. The plan is to Back fill the fish room with cement. There will be a 2" PVC pipe with channels leading to it that will discharge out the side of the garage as a "OOOPS Drain" then run the sink drain out the door into a buried 55gal poly barrel with rocks and gravel. I live on a canal that feeds the Gulf of Mexico, so the brackish / salt water level is not far.
Planning on running 4) 1" PVC Pipes under the cement to move water from the Refug to the sump. dont need 4, but its difficult to put another in if needed after the cement dries!
There will be more info, pics and diagrams soon!
Thanks All!
SMILE!
