I like this setup alot can't wait to see it filled.

No doubt, Paul. In the future when/if I do something else, I would definitely do a remote DSB.
So far, everyone I know who removed their fuges had nutrients drop quite a bit (most notably PO4). Pods will grow in your rock work. There is tremendous amounts of surface area where fish cannot get to which is plenty to support good pod populations. There are also overflow boxes and sumps that are free of predators and pods will show up there too.
Again, I like your all in one system here. I'll never use 2 floors in my home ever again for a reef. This may be a good option.
Did you make the reservoir/2 part section smaller for a reason? I figured leaving it full size reduces the need for additional cutting/wasted off-cut and also reduces the amount of product you can fit into each compartment. I'm thinking you are up to something or had to work around something to make it fit.

Great work!

Is there a reason that the last 3 chambers on the end do not go all the way to the bottom? THat would at least give you more volume for the top off.

Hey Guys,

I was trying to avoid posting without any pics, but there are several questions and I should answer them. Pics will come soon and I decided to change a few things also.

Daceman89 - Thanks! I'm going to rethink the liter meter because my reefdosing pump can go as low as 7ml a day but the liter meter can only do as low as 50ml. I was planning on getting a tunze topoff anyway so then the only think I would use the liter meter for is water changes which I would only do when I'm there anyway.

I'm planning on getting a hydor seltz L35 pump. Its supposed to be better performing pump than the eheim 1250, not as reliable, but still reliable. If I get the L35 I'm thinking of having all the flow come out of the remote dsb/fuge area. I would send half the flow to the skimmer and the other half out of the remote dsb slots. Its the simpliest thing I could think of doing and no pipes visible, I'm just hoping I made enough slots.

Wes - Thanks!

Chief - Thanks!

loismustdie - Its shorter only because my stand is 4' long. I thought about making a bigger stand but this one (I'll have pics soon) is nice and already here. It would have been easier just to baffle off the area inside the tank but to keep it at 4' and not take up extra space I decided to do an external overflow type of thing. If its bottom was going to be unsupported I didn't want to go to far down with it. But after looking at the tank for about a week, it would have been really nice to make a frag grow out section on the entire backside. When I do version 2 it will definitely be in there.

Nick - Thanks!

Crox99 - Thanks!, never thought about doing that.

Vanceny - Thanks!, see the loismustdie response.

Post 2 updated.
