lockrookie's 180g (build #3)

[lockrookie]

so i picked up this week from pats pets (thanks pat) 2 33g tanks. i will be tearing them apart and making a 50g sump out of 2 possibly a third i already own. the sump will measure 36 x 18 x 18 and built simular to my 50g;s sump just wider. and a bigger skimmer chamber



the skimmer chamber will be 12 x12 with a floss chamber 6 x12 where the water comes in. my built in refugium on opposite side. i thought about making the sump bigger but to reduce wieght i figured this is still workable as long as i dont have alot of flow back with power outages. definately worth a test before set up. lol





another idea i had was to have a carbon bag chamber tomake it easy to replace carbon still undecided which route ill go or if its worth it.







i hope to be able to run a line from my rodi for auto top off as well this will be tricky since it on the opposite side of the house in the basement with finished ceilings. but hey everyone loves a challenge. but would make this system run better if i can.



any ideas or suggestions is welcomed
