Good. I would go with a large one. Many engineers (In my experience) underestimate the amount of moisture and heat a real reef system can create.

Look forward to many updates. :biggrin:

Wow, those are some big tanks. How are you going to light the reef tank? What are you planning for flow?

I haven't worked out the exact specs of the lighting and flow yet. The predator tank doesn't require more than say 3 400W MH's however the Reef will need a nice sized bank of them to keep that lit to the right depth. The outlet in the 2000 will be a 4" 90 cupped upwards at the top of the tank, the inlet is a 2.5" so I just have to find a pump that will circ that effciently. I'm thinking the 1000 will have the entire back of the tank as the overflow allowing me to install all the 2" drains that I need. I'm not worried about sound because of the seperate room structure, so I could sound like niagra in there :D

I would recommend a couple linear light movers like I have used. You can find them on my thread on RC about my 250.

any update on the new house?



Brad

Nothing much as of yet. I've had to switch architects so we are basically restarting the process. :evil: But the room should stay the same. I'm currenty trying to source all the materials I'm going to need.

wow thats amazing...I must come over when its done....If you need help hocking up the tanks let me know!!!

Out of curiosity, how does geothermal heating work?

Jeremy, this looks like a fantastic project! I cant wait to see this complete!

Just wondering if you've started construction of the hosue yet or not? Where-abouts is your acreage? I saw a house southeast of Leduc/Edmonton that is getting geothermal heating installed, hehe.

Thank-you for sharing!
