Hello All,
Here are some pictures and a brief summary of my future system.
I currently have a 125 gal AGA RR tank with a 30 gal Refugium with a Berlin Skimmer Phosban Reactor and a CLS powered by a Dolphin Pump. The lighting is a 72" Light Fixture with 3-250 watt MH 20k and 2-96watt PC's. I also have a Cyclone Chiller.
The plan is to move all of the contents of the 125 into the 240. The filtration will be moved to the Basement. Which will be 2-150 gl. Rubbermaid's(sump & fuge). I will also be adding in the future a cryptic sump. I will be up-grading to a Geo Skimmer and Kalkwasser for water top off's. Then add a Geo Calcium Reactor in the future. Pumps are 3 Hammer Head's, 1-main return pump, 2-CLS.
I will be sticking with the 4" sand bed, will be starting out with about 250 lbs of LR, may add more later. I will be sticking with the Lights I have now and just keep low light corals off to the end. In the future I will do some DIY pendent's to fully light the ends.
My corals are LPS, Softies, and Leather's. I also have 4 Clams. Fish load very high. 15 fish to be exact.
The two 29 gl. specific tank's that I mentioned will be on the bottom of the stand below the 240 and tied into the plumbing sysytem.One of them will be a seahorse & pipe fish tank and the other will be an angler tank. The lighting will be 2-T5's. I will be wrapping the stand with Oak sheeting. All of the overflows will drain into a 2" drain line and return in 1.5". Then reduce to 1" inside the tank. The CLS on the 240 will be 2" suction with 1.5" returns then reduce to 1" pipe inside and under the sand and the riser's will be 3/4".
Now for some pictures.
Here is the tank the day I brought it home.
Here it is after removing Paint
Here it is after removing the Coraline and other nasty stuff, and let me tell you Vinegar and dead sea stuff really smell:eek1:
And here it is after being cleaned inside and out
And this one show's it with the 29's in place, I will be adding some brace's to replace the two I have to move that are in the middle of the 29's.
Here is the drawing lay out's
Here is the back view drawing
This is the above view of the CLS, the circle's are the riser locations.
Any comments or suggestion's are welcomed and appreciated.
