REEFSAFE's 345 Gallon A.G.E. in wall

[Robb in Austin]

Nice!

 

[dahenley]

is that a strap around the guys neck....
just in case he drops it, he would hang himself??

(cant wait for a picture of the sump!)
looks good so far

 

[reefsafe]

its a harness that the movers use for moving pianos. The sump is a BEAST. .5 inch acrylic!

 

[Padrino]

Looks like the move went well, That tank is going to be unreal. What have you planned for flow inside the tank?

 

[wiseman79]

Regarding the air exchanger, could it be ducted to a large room somewhere else in the home perhaps next to an hvac return? The moist air would stay in the home, but not concentrated in one area and would be dehumidified by the hvac system via being drawn into the return. Was thinking about this in respect to eliminating pulling in hot outside air.

 

[acro-ed]

Pretty impressive that those two guys carried it down the stairs like that!

 

[reefsafe]

wiseman

not sure. this one pumps out stale air and brings in outside air and keeps the air temperature the same so the air coming in is same as air going out

Padrino

I am going to use 4 mp60s controlled by the profilux. Will be running two at a time in gyre flow and then a 10 minute all 4 on surge daily.

Acro
Yeah. I am so glad I hired movers rather than try myself

Hardcore, that's what I'm talking about! I can't believe it fit down your stairs, that was a tight fit. Good job on the move.

Nice t-shirt. Go horns

 

[Padrino]

any updates?

 

[jarrett shark]

Nice tank build, can you tell me were you got the plastic white salt mix tub

 

[reefsafe]

plastic white tub was from local feed and supply store.

Updates: still cycling. Went to SEAmax over the weekend. Bad news in the qt tanks----lost black tang and achilles hybrid. That hurt. Going to do regular achilles and yellow instead. have to finish sump stand and then time to plumb!

 

[reefsafe]

Will update more when I have time but in the meantime:

 

[pcfish]

Great dimensions on the tank going to be cool to see pictures as it matures.

 

[reefsafe]

Thanks. We have the 48 inch side of the tank wall on drawer sliders so I get 24 inches of slide out access. The front panel will be on hinges and struts so I will have complete access to the front of the tank.

 

[reefsafe]

Sliding side door:

 

[Padrino]

Nice job with the slider. Does it deflect at all when fully extended with the weight of that door?

 

[reefsafe]

no. it only extends 24 inches, so about half of the door and no deflection. Think I am going to do a linear actuator for the front panel as that is 66 inches and will be HEAVY

Great tank, i really like the dimensions alot.

What is your take on the Vortech pumps, are they noisy?

Looking forward to follow your tread
