Lennyd's 50ish build

[lennyd19]

So I have been in and out of saltwater for some time. Had a 29 bio cube set up add had to dismantle due to algae and to be honest neglect. So I put all live stock in a 40 breeder and started to plan out my next build. So here I am.
I started about a month ago. I cut the carpet out and built the oversized stand. Here are some pics.

I also have Trigger ATO reservoir fead by 5 stage RO unit. Total gallons of system should be 70 gal or so. Have a Lifereef calcium reactor in order. Very excited about that always dosed 2 part. My goal is a mix reef. Thanks for looking.

They are led UL Tech lights from lowes. I like how bright they are.

Update I decided to put a water mixing station and auto water change system. I am using 2-65 gallon vertical storage tanks and apex DOS. Just waiting on EB4 and pm2 with a BOB for monitoring and controlling the mixing station. Also my rock has been curing for almost 60 days now. I am hoping to be up and running in the next few weeks.

I left some room on the end for a future frag or a quarantine tank.

WOW this is super clean and beautiful!!! cant wait to see it filled! are the white circles just decorative or do they provide a purpose? to bad you couldnt just pipe the chiller to live in the basement.

 

[lennyd19]

Thank you! The white circles are for ventilation. I would love to do that with the chiller but It just would be a huge pain.

Please more updates !?

 

[lennyd19]

Had some delays. The EB4,PM2 and BOB are all hooked up and programed. I had one of my XR15W Pro's get knocked off the RMS and in to my interm tank. Ruined the light and had to get it refurbished. So aggravated! But Sh-- happens. Onward got light back all good and making RO/DI water, should be mixing by tomorrow.

Oh man that sucks, can't wait for more posts and photos though!

Tonight I got the rest of the AWC station done had a small leak on the new salt water holding tank where the float switch is. The gaskets they send are junk. But got it all finished. I have some pics tank on the left is RO, tank on right is NSW and the brute can has a mag12 plumbed in it to get rid of OSW out side. I have a septic and I do not want the salt water in it. Also brute has a float switch to let me know when it is full and to shut off the DOS The last pick is of the rock structures I made and pulled them out of the curing vat. Moving along.

Did I read that right, you are doing all of that for a 50g tank? Your setup is beautiful and should be on something much bigger!

 

[lennyd19]

Yes all that for a 50g! Lol! Of course I have plans for a bigger tank but I have to wait some time for that. To be honest I just can't go with out a tank.
