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.

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.

then with the mixing tank I have a valve that goes directly into the sump gravity bleed. back to more plumbing

so after the 180 cycled I starting plumbing the existing system.

I used my sump from the 100g system and turned it into my Q.T.

this valve is from the RO tank so I can fill the mixing tank.

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.

Awesome, awesome, awesome... and SO many fish!!!

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!
