George, I'm posting this on RC for you....
...and so it begins...
Background
I was happy with my previous system and can’t think of anything major I would change. It consisted of a 75 gallon display that sat in the finished section of our basement which was plumbed into the back/unfinished room.
The display setup:
• 2 â€"œ 400 watt SE Reflux bulbs on magnetic ballasts with DIY Lumenarc Minis
• 2 â€"œ 110 watt VHO actinic bulbs
• 1 â€"œ Tunze 6100
• Dart on a closed loop through an OceansMotions
The “fish room†setup:
• 45 gallon Brute garbage can for mixing new saltwater
• 20 gallon Brute for top off
• 100 gallon Rubbermaid sump
• 40 gallon breeder frag tank with 1-250 watt DE 14k Phoenix bulb
• 40 gallon breeder cryptic fuge tank
• Dart as my main pump feeding everything
• GEO custom skimmer
• GEO kalk reactor
• GEO 6x12 Calcium reactor on a Milwaukee pH controller
• GEO 4x18 media reactor
• 3-10 gallon copepod culture tanks
• 2-Phytoplankton cultures
The New System
We recently moved to Worthington with a great partially finished basement. It was decided before we even saw this house that I wanted an inwall display. Unfortunately our new house has duct work running above where I planned the tank to be. That meant that I was restricted by height.
The breakdown:
• 120 gallon Oceanic Tech Series display
• 40 gallon breeder sump with baffles
• 24†x 18†x 12†frag tank
• Dart as my main pump feeding everything including OM which is the return for display
• 45 gallon Brute garbage can for mixing new saltwater
• 20 gallon Brute for top off
• GEO custom skimmer
• GEO kalk reactor
• GEO 6x12 Calcium reactor
• GEO 4x18 media reactor
• 3-10 gallon copepod culture tanks
• 2-Phytoplankton cultures
• AquaController Jr
• AquaSurf
• 2- Tunze 6100s
• 2 â€"œ 250 watt SE Reflux bulbs on Coralvue ballasts with Lumen Brights
...and so it begins...
