Reeftanks6 90g reef build thread ( pic intense)

I have a fish room in the basement and the difference you will see by increasing the pipe size will be huge. I bet you do not come close to your expectations. Also, the pump will have to work harder.

I was in the same boat as you at one time. I had a chiller with 3/4 fittings. My flow was terrible. So I had to run second return line to make everything work.

Far cheaper to address the issue now.

ok update i am thinking of a fish list and wont to post two fish that i want one of these will be a tang it will be a little crouted with that but....
So its either a Powder Brown or chocolate tang i did have a purple in mind but in a 90 which is pushing it for 2 i didnt want the purple and sailfin fighting so i thing if i add either a powder brown or chocolate tang it wont be that bad. I also want some kind of foxface. Just tell me what your experince is with these fish.

Good job so far, looks good! BTW what are you using to light your 37G, is it VHO?

 

[Reeftanks6]

no its a regular flouresent i got it online its like 50 watts it will be alright for know
Update well my uncle came over to my house to check out the plumbing we are changing some things. There is also Water in the tank know!!! Since it is such a high distance up the water flow is somewhat lower then i wanted it so i will just add powerheads if i dont go and get anthor pump

[Reeftanks6]

ok here is a pic of the 37 gallon

here are some of the 90 all filled up just need to add my salt a little at a time

One more

And here is the sump and refuge we are changing some things down here did not work as planned

Question for everyone do u think i should run my skimmer know or wait till i get some sand and rock in there untill i turn it on.
Some of the changes that we are going to make is the plumbing the T did not work out as we planned. The tank does not have much flow but the pump is doing good so far still havent decided what iam going to do with that

 

[Reeftanks6]

i also have to bring that water line up in my sump

You need to put the ball valve under the T for the fuge. This will allow you to control how much water gets to you fuge. The way it is figured now. The water will just go straight.
