Well I finally was able to take a few pics of my basement sump room project. Here is the basic layout: 75 AGA RR SPS display tank, 100g sump tub, 40g frag tank, 29g refuge, Hammerhead, ALS Predator 4 downdraft skimmer, 55g RODI tank.

Here is a pic of under the 75g upstaires. I will actually have (3) returns but I was just messing with the pipes last night. The tanks original 3/4" return will be used with 2 loclines blasting on each side of the overflow, also a new 1" hole drilled in the top center will be a single pipe with (4) T's with nozzles, and a 3/4" Sea swirl. Future plan is to add on a Sea squirt but for now I the use this setup. Each return will get its own B-valve. I also now have (3) 1" drains, the orginal 1" and 2 new 1" drains drilled into each upper corner of the tank.

SO I hope to have it all plumbed up and glued by the end of the weekend and ready for a water test. I can't wait to get the main dispplay back up and running. It's been about 6 weeks now and the coral wnats out of the nano! and so do I.

Thanks, it's been real fun putting it all up.

Reef keeper = carpenter, plumber, electrician and lobbist. gotta build it, gotta plumb it, gotta wire it and you gotta figure out how to pay for it so the wife don't kill ya!
