Systems running on Aquarium Engineering

[greg 45]

Please post pictures of you Aquarium Engineering Equipment. Interested to see how you have set up . Pumps feeding the sulfur and calcium reactor/ skimmer on left , calcium reactor middle and sulfur reactor on right . Will post full skimmer picture soon .

Full equipment picture

This is running my 1200 gallon system/custom made controller for calcium reactor on left . And yes it's level LOL :bagfish:

Wow thats some serious equipment there bud, is this all for your main display? Or starting a small shop?

 

[greg 45]

Storm this is on main display . Was struggling with hobby grade equipment. Went for the top of the line. There are three 4 foot by 8 foot by 16" tall displays running a 250 watt metal halide's on a light rail . Was a anemone guy moving up to play with the SPS guys.

i can imagine you had to break the piggy bank on this setup, better equipment than most stores, very nice!!

 

[greg 45]

Storm no as bad as you think. Not giving out number . If I had a dollar for all the equipment I tried before this I would have paid for this equipment and had money left over for a nice vacation. I was in the skimmer of the month club from bubble king to the reef dynamic's that I have on here for sale. A bit of advice find some one who knows what they are doing and follow in there foot steps. Every company told me there's is the best bah humbug to that . Like Paul B says you need to feed your fish you also need export to get rid of what you put into tank.

very nice equipment greg, but one question how do deal with the evaporation from a 1200g system. I'm not asking about top off, but humidity.

 

[greg 45]

My house is old and dry in the winter , heating units for three floors in the basement where tanks are located. In the summer I run a dehumidifier to keep humidity in check.

Greg,
You definitely have nice equipment and do not skimp
Curious as to what lights you are running now. I remember the Pac Suns then the Fathoms but what is the latest?

 

[Mattl22]

Hi r those peristaltic pumps or vacuum ? I top off with kalk and use a mighty flex but would be too loud to listen too all the time r those loud I'm using a sm maxi Jett to feed cal reactor for now but know it's only a matter of time till it craps out hopefully I'll be home

 

[greg 45]

Pecan you kill me !!! LOL I am running 250 Watt Metal Halides on a light rail I will try to post a picture tonight / did you get the crap sun from pseudo ???? .. All I know is after putting m/h back on anemones came out of hiding the leds are not for me . Matt there is some noise from the master flex pumps , it seems if you run a smaller diameter tubing it is noiser . Try to use the largest tubing you can for the head unit you are running. The up grade is to be more spot on with the dosing and keeping parameter in check . I haven't seen this many tank crashes and people getting out of the hobby in a long time.

 

[Jazeel55]

What's up Greg long time. You retired the LEDS the Nem is still looking great I could use another

 

[greg 45]

Yes Jazeel leds retired , you can try your local aquarium stores or wait for a member on here to sell a split for another anemone . I am trying to find other who are running aquarium engineering equipment . Also to share my experience with reactors and controller other than hobby grade .

Lol Greg
If I could go back to MH/VHO, I would but heat was an issue for the fish room. Chillers for the tanks, AC for the room because of the chillers, it was a never ending battle.
Kasei is hanging on to your Pac Sun, can't seem to pry it out of his hand Lol.
Surprisingly my 2nd gen Pac Sun (just blue & whites) does well for the nems, been on this tank for about 4 years now:

 

[Jazeel55]

Question though you have all that high tech equipment why does nothing survive in your tank. Maybe you should get back to simplicity. There nothing wrong with low tech and high speed. Your high tech and all your live stock continues to die. Hmmmmmmm

 

[greg 45]

If I remember you called me for advice on led's . Everything was closed up . HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
If you cannot keep thread on track I will ask mods to remove .
Thank You
