You rock!!!!

What size is the main tank? If it is 280 gallon then why almost 1000 gallons of fuge/sump volume? Seems like quite a bit of overkill doesn't it? What will the refuges and sumps be used for?

yes it is over kill but stable... maybe more then me

The tank is in!! I cant wait to get the stand should be next week..

72x30x30

 

[Northside Reef]

remember mr.4000 humidity destroyed that guys house

all the refugiums will be sealed the only humidity will be a bit from the sump most of which will be sealed and the tank..

a lot of 280's out there no one has killed their house yet with one

 

[Northside Reef]

Sweet!! I like the priorities.. Dryer must move for the holding tank

moved rewired and duct work rerouted


anyone want to come plumbing this weekend?

 

[ridetheducati]

Acrylic, interesting choice.

Your waiting for a stand, just put that thing on a couple of cinder blocks. I want to see some water flowing.

 

[capt. insano]

it looks like the refugiums and water storage are in a utility room. You could easily put an air exchanger in that room to vent all of the humid air outside (and it will help control heat issues if you have any)

pretty inexpensive way to help in insure against humidity issues caused by all of that water

By the way, if my wife came home and saw that I had bought all of the components and had something planned like you do, I would hope I was wearing an athletic cup and a face mask

Nice setup, where did you get the 325g storage tank?
I will need one that size for my setup

BELIEVE ME humidity was the first thing I addressed when I decided to do this.

the Rubbermaid tanks will have gasketed clear covers on them. As soon as Chris over at Midwest Custom Aquarium is done making them and I get done gasketing them I will post a pic

Are you married? Forget the humidity. You have to weave around the holding tank to get to the washer and dryer. My wife would have put a quick end to that setup. Actually she probably would have just said, "I guess you are doing the laundry now".

I understand how you figure you will get by the humidity issue, however Im curious how you are going to attach the gasket to those rubbermaid stock tanks. And what kind of covers are you going to put on them to seal it up?

Yea I saw the site....still didnt give me any ideas on how you are going to seal the rubbermaids up though.

 

[stevedola]

I think he is going to design a gasket for his project needs. Came across as he is either an engineer for seal tech or someone important.

WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE BLACK RUBERMADE THINGS?
