Thanks Tim,
I really like this design too. Everythings so tight it'll require everything to be neat and tidy to fit. Gonna be a fish keeping machine when we're done, not an aquarium.
Yep,
definetly gotta have my shot of salt everyday!
I feel like a junkie
Heck, I saw a decent 55 with stand and N/O lights for 150 and I wanted to go sell some plasma to get it!
and I dont even have anywhere to put another.
There are three in this house now. (125 FOWLR, 65 mixed reef, and my sons 10 gal nano). In order to feed my addiction and keep me from going broke, I've gotta hook some other people around me. Typical junkie behavior 'eh?
We plan on doing the baffles to contain the stockmans when we set up and test run it. You can see that the center of the stockmans are too loe to be an acceptable hieght in the DT, so the water will drop about 3 in. into the OF compartment before entering the standpipes. They are ther just simply to quiten it down. Did 1 1/4 so that the necessary 90's going through the glass werent an issue in flow, plus it'll allow for more flow later if he wanted to bump it up some. He has a budget set up that'll get him there with some decent equipment, just gotta be mindful of it.
The first section of baffles on the fuge will be full of LR rubble and then a 2in sugar sized SB with macros. May even do rubble in the first set of baffles in the sump, just for extra pod production, filtration etc. The 2 tanks will have an 1 1/4 slip coupling to allw him to set up/ pull the tanks independantly.
