Custom 375 Gallon Build
Well I have had many salt water setups in my time but have now settled on two really nice projects, this one is the largest of my collection and took a team of professional movers to install in my basement.
Size is 80"Long x 30"High x 36"Front-Back, Featuring dual hebie overflows and 380LBS of Live rock and Corals http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...-James/018.jpg Now with such a large tank comes such a large sump, custom 100 gallon 6 stage sump w/natural refuge, measuring 60Lx20Hx20D and hosts aprox 80-100LBS of live cured rock, buble algae and cheato. And of course insane skimmer http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...-James/020.jpg http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...-James/022.jpg So with all this water to be moved around she is powered by 2 massive Dart 4700 gall/hr external pumps and 4 powerheads Korillia #5's and two very simmilar http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...-James/021.jpg As for lights I am running 2x 72" Coralife Strips with 6x 250watt MH and 8x 96watt Actinic PC's http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...-James/024.jpg [b]Now doing water changes and mixing all that new salt water had to be considered so I installed a mixing station running off one RO system, and a top off bucket of fresh water from another RO system. I also plumbed pex lines from the sump to the laundry tub with a pump to pump out old water; and pex lines from the mixing tank to the sump via another pump so I never have to carry buckets of water again....http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...-James/025.jpg http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...-James/028.jpg And last but not least the glory..... http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...NewTank001.jpg http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...-James/019.jpg Thanks for looking everyone, I will add more cool things on this thread down the road, I do want to get a really good Camera eventually to take HD pics. Also a special Thanks to Gordon who was a very big help into this project. Corey |
Amazing setup. That is an impressive amount of light.
|
Thanks ... It runs simutanously 3 x MH on front during morning and mid day, the 3 x MH on back light from noon to supper.... kinda like the sun moves through out the day.
