The 225.

[kegogut]

So heres a few pics of the 225 progress. Hoping to have it wet and salty by the end of the week.
Me and Pife drilled the holes.


Jebao DC12000 for a return pump.


Overflow is 24"x7.5x4", I made it at work. I used GOOP adhesive/sealant to stick it to the back of the tank.


Heres the manifold. it has six 1/2" ball valves. Im only going to use 3 of them for now (GFO,Sulphur reactor,and Carbon) but I figured I'd rather have them and not need them etc..



55g sump,bean animal overflow,1.5" plumbing up to 3/4" locline.


First two pieces of rock went in tonight. I decided to use a piece of cool holey rock and some lace rock I kept from when the tank was a cichlid tank. It will make good base rock and has some nice shapes etc.

Yea,the chip is on the outside of the glass so the bulk heads still sealed up easily.

That's gonna be nice. Is the sump in the basement/back room or your garage?

The sump is in the laundry room on the other side of the wall from the tank. Both tank and sump are in the basement.

 

[kegogut]

Just started running the RO/DI unit into the tank about 30 mins ago. at 50 gallons per day it should only take about 4-5 days to fill up! lol

I would rethink the placement of those electrical boxes

 

[Pife]

I would rethink the placement of those electrical boxes

Why?

2nd that! Remember my problem?!

The boxes are easily accessible,I shouldnt have any problems getting to them if a problem occurs.

I would move them if possible. So they are out of the spill and splash zone...

 

[Nanook]

You might consider one of the outdoor covers with the foam rubber seals to keep the splashing from hitting the sockets anyway.

 

[Boosted Rxp]

Do what I did,throw gfi breakers in and let her rip lol

 

[Ryan2428]

Electrical box needs to be covered for sure like nook said . But the real question is I see all that work being done and no cup holder attached anywhere . You need a place to hold your beer
