Well over the last few months I have been moving my sump and all the equipment out to the garage to a sump cabinet (I guess you would call it).


Display cabinet now, get'n ready for the upgrade.

The sump cabinet in the garage with lots still to finish.

Top left is my 50g water change tank.

To the right of that is my 50g refugium.

Top right is my 20g hospital/quarantine tank.

The frag tank will go middle left, you can see the 250w Aqua medic pendent.

The middle center has my GAC/GFO reactor & will have my RO/DI.

The middle right is my Manifold and control panel.

Bottom left is the 85g sump.

Each tank can be isolated with valves if needed.

I estimate that after the frag tank is up and running it will be just over 300g for the whole system

+1 I've always been super jealous that this tank is so tidy and organized AND the tank itself looks fantastic.:mrgreen:

Thanks, but you guys are far too kind.

I've been reluctant to post any pics since it's not done and looks...well...not done. :mrgreen:

It's not Ideal having everything out in the garage but I think it's the best I can do with this tiny house. I would like to have a in-wall & fish room but it doesn't work in our 1500sf 2 bedroom rancher. Luckily we will be getting a bigger house in the next year or two. one thing I do like is cleaning the skimmer collection cup right out side the door to the right of the unit, I just hose it out. Water changes are great with the W/C tank, I isolate it, drain it, hose it out, drain and wipe clean, fill and mix salt, open valves to put in back online.

I siliconed my frag tank together today finally, so at least I got something done on it.

Here is a pic of the frag tank.

I need to get some foam for under it.

I will water test it in the next few days.

Psst. Painter's tape won't hold that tank together once you add in the water. According to Red Green, you need DUCT tape for that :biggrin::wink:

Very clean looking system, CProwler.

Do you like the lighting for the tank?

That reminds me I have been acumulating equipment for this for over a year now.

250w pendant - SeaHorse_Fanatic
T5 lighting for Fuge - 04scoobysti
50g - Targa81
50g - Pansy-Paws
Sump - Denis (that reminds me I have to talk to him)
Skimmer - fastfish

Nice work! Looks like a good example of....think first...then do.

Your tank and that new frag tank are gorgeous. That's also the biggest ball of chaeto I've ever seen! Must be podtropolis in that thing lol.

Love the whiteboard idea on your cabinet door. I'm going out and getting one for my waterchange cabinet now.
