Jack's 300 gallon system

[Jack07013]

Rockwork - Marcorocks. yes, I had waited a little bit for the right rocks, but I didnt mind it at all. Marc even sent pics before buying and it was so well packed that I should have taken pics of the packing. I was very happy with it.

as far as pipes - return pipe from main tank 2", to the main tank 1", from T to the frag tank 1/2" and from frag tank to sump 1", extras from T are 1/2 - I was planning to using carbon/phosban reactor/s plus calcium - but once decided to go with zeo and dosing unit - they are just there if needed.

I like the rockwork and fishroom. Clean and neat.
What size is the return line off the manifold? What about the "T" offed lines?
I'm assuming 2" and 1/2" ?

Jack,
I read through it and it does make a good sense to do so I don't see why not as well got me thinking maybe I should try it out. But so far everything looks like it rolling smoothly

 

[Jack07013]

in.... it was. why? 1) impossible to do it without taking almost swim lessons, 2) skimmer went nuts for 24hrs. but I learned the lesson - get the rocks closer to front glass and than move them back. that's the only way to do it.

yellow tang from dr. Jim:

and yes, I have no idea how to take pics of moving objects

Wow! Love the tank and the aquascaping! I just read an article on the zeo method, really intriguing, I only have just heard about it. Will be cool to see your tank progress and hear how everything goes. Thanks for showing the tank! I bet your fish will love to have the pillars to swim around as well.
