sps 1250 gallon system

At the moment we are planning the chilling ad deciding whether its worth bringing in 3 phase service to the house. Its down the street but it massive drowning and big bux to get it. May just mean we use the 2 phase and have more smaller chillers. Which for redundency may not be so bad. These are professional trane units like 10 hp each and i may need 6 of them. This project is really more nuts than i imagined. They have to dig grade below in house just to get tank in house then backfill. As it is tank will sit 2 feet below grade and still be7 ft tall to eye. So nine foot high tank by about 15 and change feet cubed length and width. I will put up the schematics Lets notbforget the other massive sps tank that will be almost 3k gallons and some of the craziest built in the ground custom poly sumps.

Toooo Coooool Andrew!!...I was a high end residential builder for over 30 years, and a electrician by trade. You always need to be thinking six steps ahead to keep from having costly mistakes.:eek1: 3 phase power is surely not the norm for residential construction. You need to figure cost vs. payback time to see if it makes sense. My guess would be yes,... with the power requirements of a system like your building. Are you saying that the tanks are being built off site and will be move into place?:crazy1:
Like I said,... I'm curious about your lighting. I assume it would be some type of LED, in order to penetrate the water depth to your coral.
Can't wait to see all the details:bounce1:---Rick

wow this is going to be absolutely legendary, I live vicariously through hedgedrew!
 
Rick. Because how far the 3 phase is. Its almost double the price of the equip savings. They telling me 100k betweeb electrician and digggiing and tunneling. Seems nuts.
 
Hey Andrew, what is the tank made of?...fiberglass? On other extremely large tanks that I have read about, they seem to be constructed on site. ie concrete.
 
You are trying to link to one of the other reefing web sites that Reef Central administrators are scared to death of and are blocking. I don't know if this has to do with commercial interests of sponsors of this forum, or jealousy that the other site maintains both an active reef news service plus competing forum.

No-one here is allowed to know that Googling "Andrew Sandler's reef tanks are a cumulitive 1600 gallons" would take them to the article in question. It is VERBOTEN.

You did not hear it from me. I will deny everything.

Andrew,...nice recognition of which you are well deserved! I wasn't sure if the video of your 1200gal was one you had posted on RC or if was new. I love seeing your tank and all the fish :) Really inspirational.---Rick
