Bobby B system
So about 3 years ago I built a 100 gallon breeding set up, which I have had great success breeding banggai's! Then after building my new house, I decided that I wanted to upgrade! So this is what I have done so far.
[IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6912[/IMG] This is my 100 gallon breeding set up. [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6911[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6913[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6916[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6917[/IMG] starting getting the tanks set up. [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6918[/IMG so I have a 180g display, 4 20g displays, 60g holding tank for RO. which u can see in the top right of picture. also have a 40g refuge, 40g saltwater mixing chamber, and a 35g sump. [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6919[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6921[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6922[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6924[/IMG] sorry this pic is side ways lol [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6925[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6927[/IMG] I have 3 jebo pumps have 2 12,000 and 1 6,000. The 2 12,000 feed my 180 and the 6,000 feeds my 4 20g. [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6929[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6930[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6931[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6932[/IMG] I T off one of the 12,000 pumps and installed these quick connects. and then installed a bulk head into my fish sink. then I just hook up a hose to drain for my water changes. [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6943[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6945[/IMG] then with the mixing tank I have a valve that goes directly into the sump gravity bleed. back to more plumbing [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6935[/IMG] so after the 180 cycled I starting plumbing the existing system. [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6936[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6933[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6939[/IMG] I used my sump from the 100g system and turned it into my Q.T. [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6944[/IMG] this valve is from the RO tank so I can fill the mixing tank. [IMG]http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/pic...pictureid=6949[/IMG] |
Nice , lots of pics .
Looks great ! Do you find any problems with the porcupine ? |
Beautiful setup. Good for you that you have the room in your new house to devote this much space to your passion. Well thought out design.

|
Holy crap! Fantastic job Bobby!
|
Very clean and tidy setup. looking forward to see more.
|
Thanks for the awesome comments! Never had any problems with puff, and he loves eating from a turkey baster!
|
If u need to get rid of hair algea I have a starving seahorse that will wipe out the algea. Just a thought . Great set up and looks like it was very well planned.
|
yeah i have a bit in my 20g tanks, its like i have 4 extra refuges. But if u got a seahare i will put it in! i met u one time at concept, i could meet u there sometime to pick it up, or matt can bring it over. what ever works. thanks!
|
I wish my breeding setup was as neat as yours! Holy! What are you breeding/attempting currently?
Your 180 looks really nice, how old is it? There's a ton of fish in there, wow!!! |
Thanks! I have had really good success with banggis, and currently trying clowns. I got the 180 going at the beginning of may, there is about 40 fish in there now!
|
Ya, that's a heck of a bioload! Clowns are easier than Bangaii, you'll be fine. :)
|
Thats one serious setup! Nice work Bobby! Thanks for sharing, keep the pics coming! -following along -

Getting ready to add a 9 foot predator tank
So I decided to take down my breeding set up and make way for a 9 foot predator tank! Going to get the tank built when I get back from vacation in March. I changed some things on my exciting system.
Added a 45 gallon kricpt for more filtration. http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3xnwimrh.jpg Changed some of my plumbing http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/...pspqwhntip.jpg http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7icwciix.jpg http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/...pstnywnrdn.jpg And I upgraded my skimmer to a deltec 2560. Add running the bubble magus bp130 bio pellet reactor http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3wuevgm8.jpg And finally got the Rock wall up around the tank! http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/...psvwkm5htj.jpg http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/...pswwk5ixvo.jpg Looks empty in the room now with the breeders gone http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/...psmmotvb8c.jpg But I think puff here will enjoy his new 9 foot home! http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/...psznd3qbey.jpg |
The rock wall looks sweet! I can't wait to see Puff in his new home. :D
|
wow, that's an epic amount of plumbing ! I love it :lol:
|
Got the basement done!
Finally got the basement finished! Now I can hang out by the tank, even more lol
