Thanks Murray, when you're set up again and rid of all your pests come by and grab some frags. Talk soon.

A little update - I made my system larger. I added about 20 more gallons of water volume. Joe Reefer gave me a tank a long time ago, so I decided to add it to my system. The purpose will be for overflow parking for my frag tank when my frag tank is full.

The tank is supported with industrial shelving that will hold 700 lbs so I think I'm pretty safe.

Sorry, forgot to use flash for all pictures.

This is looking into my fish room from outside the door. That's the 20 gallon that I added.


As you go to the right, it's my 75 gallon RO/DI reservoir. I added shelves above it last weekend.


A view from the RO reservoir side to the sump/frag tank side of the fish room. It's a little difficult to take pictures because my fish room is only about 4 feet by 8 feet I think.


This is the manifold I added to the main return pump. I added 2 extra ports for "just in case" I upgrade or add another tank to the system at a later date.


Finally, a close view of the new addition.


Thanks for looking.

Here's a couple of quickie shots of both sides of my tank tonight

Whatcha running for a heater these days Dez? Is it a single pump running all these periphery tanks or did you add any new pumps to handle the extra flow diversions?

I believe I have 3 x 200 watt heaters or 300 watt (can't remember) all run off of my Aqua Controller.

No, it's still just the one pump running everything. I have the pump choked off upstairs still and it's still giving me about 1200 - 1500 gallons an hour at the display.

My beckett skimmer is still skimming well even with the addition of the 20 gallon tank, and it feeds the 75 gallon water change tank and 40 gallon frag tank as well. I'm pretty happy with the pump so far.
