The Kids Tank Upgrade

The basement has been roughed in with a six vent. There will be a humidity sensor in the sump room to control it. The pump that I will be going with is a speed wave 2640. I have heard a few different pumps running and I liked this one.

Tank will be a reef set up.

There has been progress. The fireplace is in. It keeps the basement nice and warm. Best choice we made for the home. I have moved all the electrical, for the basement. I just need to finish off the plumbing and then we can close everything up. I put the tank and stand in the final resting spot. This should be fun. Finish the plumbing, pull the tank and stand back out and do the drywall and paint. After that is done move the tank back and rip up the flooring, move the tank and replace that flooring. Good amount of work. I told my wife that I would have the basement done by mid November. I will post a few pictures to show you the progress.

THe current set up.

I have three kids. I don’t think that I really own anything in my home. I am really at their mercy. Just saying.

I would like to plumb my protein skimmer into the drains of my house. Yes I am that lazy! Has anyone done this? I am looking for some input on how to do this? Past experience is what I would like to hear. I would assume that is would be the same plumbing as a toilet, just smaller drains.
