my 315 Reef and 900 Lagoon System.

[Black71gp]

Well I though maybe i would start a thread of my set up... things are always changing and never finished...so thats why it might not look done in most picture.s. but here it is...

a 84x36x24 reef BB lots of tangs... just lost all my sps to AEFW then a nitrate spike.. to fix the nitrate issue. i built a 12x4x30" tall lagoon in the basement and filled a 10x4 area of it with 6" of sand.. this turned into a shark and ray tank.. I have a yellow ray and Epualette shark in there now.. so here are a few pics

here is the skimmer i built for the system...chamber is 48" tall and 21" diameter. the riser is 8" diameters and 15" tall.. driven by a Dart Needle wheel and Ailta 40 Air pump

Awesome!!! :thumbsup:

I'm jealous of both!!!!

 

[Black71gp]

thank you.... oh and FYI the skimmer is another about 80 gallons.. I am planning on hooking up a 55 gallon drum with a 4" drain for a surge device once i find some really good plans...so there should be some nice wave action in the lagoon...

I love it, great tank and basement touch tank.

that is a cool combo! the lagoon is fantastic. throw a few mangroves in there!

That fan and cord over the lagoon would scare me....but VERY cool set up none the less...I'm jealous.

What do you do about humidity in the basement?

 

[Black71gp]

mangroves are in there now.. i have 25 pods in there from FL...

That fan is no longer there.. there is a new one attached...

Humidity is just a LARGE fan blowing outside right now.. stays within normal ranges... I have two 6" ducts that are being installed to suck the air out as well......

Was your tank always bb.I am setting up my 300 and I will use about 2 to 3 inches of sand.I will also make a dsb in my sump.Sump will be a 125 or a 150 gal tank.I will see.Maybe I will use more than one tank for a sump.

 

[Black71gp]

it had about 1" of sand in.. but with all the flow from one end it all blew to the other.. so i got fed up and took it all out....

 

[steve the plumb]

Yes the sand storm look is on my mind.I will try to aim my cl away from the bottom but I think it will happen.Some fish like to dig.
