New 325G In-Wall Project

I really like the idea of the overflow on the back of the tank like that. Gives you so much more room in the tank itself without a big black box in the way. Good luck to ya on the build.

Yeah, I'm fortunate to have the room available for that design.

Thanks - Ed

Nice looking tank. I'm looking forward to seeing more updates.

 

[sjreefer]

That looks like its going to be incredible, very well planned

 

[Fursphere]

Updates?

 

[LIReefer]

I know its been a long time since I posted updates on this project but just wanted you all to know its still going. As usual other things got in the way like finishing off the living area of the basement first. The wife wouldn't have it any other way. So now progress has been pretty steady. Most of the plumbing is completed with just a few odds and end to finish. Here are some recent pics on the project. Glad to be posting progress again

Very nice! especially nice looking plumbing...can you explain what's going on in the Rubbermaid sump specifically the PVC piping.

Two years since you started this thread and there is no water in the tank?

There are 2 - 2" returns each attached to a Sequence HH. There is also a 1 1/2 line attached to a Seqhuence HH feeding the skimmer, UV, calcium reactor, phosphate reactor and a carbon reactor. This line loops around the outside of the fuge and also has multiple tee's for the various probes of the AC III pro. There is also another line attached to a little giant pump that will drain the sump inot the sink for water changes. The external overflow plumbing from the tank feed the 2 - 5gal buckets in the sump that will have filter media installed on top of the yellow strainer in hopes of providing mechanical filtration and bubble control. The UV, phosphate reactor and a carbon reactor will also be connected to the tops of these buckets. The other 2" holes in the overflow feeds the refugium by gravity flow. I'm hoping it will work.

Tell me about it!! I never thought it was going to take that long. I hope this isn't a record.

Looks good. Don't worry about the time frame.. The longer you work on it the more things you will think of.. Taking alot of time while your seetting it up should save you some Headaches down the road

 

[Hop]

LOL. or if you are like me you will forget where you put stuff, why you put things where they are and how it works

Nice build though! very impressive, I've spent quite a bit of time looking at the details and I have to say... More eye candy would be nice! JJ

 

[LIReefer]

You're right.....I've purchased so many things in advance that I've also forgot where I've put them and end up buying the same thing again. Thank god they were low cost items. I'll also take some more detailed pics for you eye candy freaks.

Magnoclean Magnet

Magnoclean Magnet

A new toy came today and took a real long time to get here. Not that I need it yet with no water in the tank, but it’s always good to be well prepared. The quality looks excellent and the magnets are pretty powerful. Let’s hope it cleans as advertised.

It’s a Magnoclean Magnet made specifically for acrylic tanks by Schuran of Germany.

FYI, the pressure from my Sequence 6000 was strong enough to break a few pinpoint PH probes when placed in pressurized pipe. You might be better off moving all the probes in the drain lines.

Even though the pump is feeding my skimmer, UV, calcium reactor, phosphate and carbon reators - you think there will still be too much pressure in the pipe that could damage the probes?

Hi there,
im watching your thread with interest as im setting up a 7x30x30 as well. I liked the Magnoclean Magnet - I may have to invest in one of those myself - cant wait to see your tank set up
