My 57 gallons - Closed loop system

[Manochio]

Hello everybody!

I'll start the discussion of my new project. 57 gallons with closed loop system.

Setup:

Sump +Dysplay = 57 GA / 216 liters

Circulation: 2 - Sicce Syncra Silince 2.0 in closed loop.

Lighting: 6 - T5 39W - Future project of exchanging part of the lamps
by LEDs.

Thanks !!

Hello THS!

Follow the photos of the closed loop system is very compact and is located below the tank.

Thanks !!

I really like your rock formation. Where did you get those frag rocks?

Wow, this is a beautiful tank! I love the setup!

Can you provide full details on the filtration system?

Can you also let me know what your current nitrate and phosphate levels are?

And lastly, can you tell me what T5 tubes and brand you are using front to back for the lighting?

Many many thanks in advance. :thumbsup:

Awesome tank! What substrate are you using? I see its almost like gravel. Do you siphon it when you do water changes?

This is beautiful and something different. I see the tank is rimless on top but the bottom and sides have a frame. I never saw the frame on the sides like that, very unique. Who made this tank?

It has definitely caught my attention. I hope to see more.

OK, I have to ask. How in the heck does your closed loop work? The picture below makes it look like water flows into each of the pumps, then out of them, and then they look like they meet up again before the water even has a chance to enter the tank. What is really going on with that? Do you have pictures showing the returns from inside the tank? Enquiring minds what to know!!!!

I'm wondering the same thing actually. Must be some fancy plumbing trick.

What a nice clean design and aquascape.
Plumbing has me baffled too.
Closed loop - Can only see two holes look like they are drain and return.
Skimmer - Where is the overflow and return for the skimmer?

Sahin Hello!

Thank you! Currently use a Brazilian skimmer (Morato 900) with capacity from 300 to 600 liters. I keep two mechanical filters, one decline in the water and another after the skimmer. PO4 = Zero, NO3 = 1 PPM.

Lighting: 6 = T5 - 39W

2 white - Power Glo - Hagen
2 blue - Actinica + - Geisemman
2 blue - Blue 2 - Narva

Sorry my English is very bad.

Thanks Charley!

I'm using coral sand as substrate. The aquarium is new and still there was no need to siphon.

Thanks Chihuahua6!

This model was developed by an aquarium hobbyist renowned Brazilian Joao Carlos Basso. The drop of water is made by 3 corners and climb on the other corner. The frames you see are to hide the decline in the water system. The movement is done through two closed-loop or leaves the aquarium clean well without pumps, pipes and cables apparent. It is a system very
nice looking.
