That plumbing set up seem fairly simple, that is if you have a PH degree!!, but in my opinion if it looks complicated you are either a genius at it or I'm just simply a dumb..ss!!

 

[Awibrandy]

Wow, that is impressive.

 

[crox99]

Vey nice setup.

 

[nanchil]

Great Setup. Good luck...

Its not complete yet, I have to finish the ReefKeper 2 controler installation, along with the switch bank, all electrical will be tucked away neatly in PVC. I have 2 storage tanks (55g). One rubber made and one old glass tank. Might convert the old glass tank into a frag tank in the future. My future freguim will sit under the pump station self.

Man that's complicated!

probally will be looking to add more rock, right now I have around 210lbs in the tank so Im thinking another 60lbs.

what light fixture are you using?

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Great looking just if you can tuck that wire for the tunze out of sight it might help you out down the road.

Thanks Chief,

I was moving around the rock a little, waiting for my little suction cups for the wires, definitly will be out of sight.

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

[JRWOHLER]

Mamma Mia! :givebeerr 10 and I might start to make sense of it all. Or at least I will think I could make sense of it all.

You were worried about a lost fish right? He is probably in the pipes thinking it is a water park for fish complete with tanning salon.:bablefish

Very nice just had to kid you cuz I was too dense to figure it all out.

 

[reefman]

that system is good enough for a lfs. in fact it may b better than some. :lol:

 

[Salty Dog]

thanks people,

I wanted to do it right the first time, you know over build it just for insurance. My next addition is a calcium reactor. I only have crab, shrimpand snails in the tank at tis time. Probally waita total of 10 weeks before adding fish. All perimeters of the water is testing great.

If everything has cycled you should be able to add some fish sooner. I know you don't want to go to fast, but 10 weeks is overly impatient in my opinion. Certainly if you are still planning what to put in the tank then don't put anything in till you know what you want. How soon are you going to go with corals? Are you planning a lot of SPS? You won't need to bring the reactor online until you have something that will be using up the Ca from your system. Just a thought.

I want to start adding SPS asap but im lacking in the knowlege deptment, Are sps hard to get started? do you have to does daily? I would like to add fish in 2 weeks when I get home from Vacation and see about some coral.

Thanks Bill
