MitchM tank build

[Delphinus]

The spread is definitely better with the ATI's! Although, I have to say I'm impressed if you thought that only 6 Mitras would have worked over a tank with these dimensions. That's no small feat to get coverage of that magnitude..

15 year old rock! I tip my hat to you, sir.

But seriously? Hurry up and put some reef into this tank!

1. Holy crap that's a lot of sand!
2. I love the simplicity of your new aqua scape. I would be tempted to leave it as is, add some fish and call it a day :-)
3. See #1 above.

Tony, what's the rush?

Thanks kien, it almost took me a full 20 minutes to design that.

The spread does look good on those ATI's. - and yes, 6 Mitras may have not been enough - another reason I went for the ATI's

In the sump I'm replacing my electric heaters with a coil of PEX that will be heated with a hot water recirc loop controlled with the Profilux.
There are plastic PEX fittings available for corrosive environments.

Interesting ... where would the water for the loop get heated?

[MitchM]

I tap into the hot water tank and run domestic water through it.
A 25W recirculation pump pulls hot water in a loop from the hot water outlet pipe and returns it to the cold water inlet pipe on the hot water tank.

So the heat comes from the normal operation of the hot water tank.

[ensquire]

What material are the pex rings made of ???
