Spent the last few weekend renovating the sump room.
I have a spare tank if anyone is interested in buying it....

So I found this aluminum stand for sale out in Chilliwack. I could not go wrong for $50.00. Well built and the perfect size for my room. I also found a 135 gal tank for $100.00 bucks and Albert and company at Oceanic helped out by drilling the bottom for me on short notice..Thanks guys, much appreciated!
Anyways, my weekend project begins...again.... I miss dirt biking..

This pump will feed the 3/4" manifold, that feeds my reactors and UV. I did not want them to run of the main return pump. This pump is good for around 1200 GPH. Enough to feed my UV properly and the reactors.
 and these are the Panworld pumps. I decided to run the 250 full time and the 150 as a backup. This way I can always use the Apex to start the backup, should the main one quit while not home. They are plumbed together, but I need to get an electric shut off valve to have the setup work properly..

Installed my own baffles to suit my needs. Been using SCS 1200 silicone with no issues. Oceanic and concept use it as well as sell it.

Finished setting up the Apx AFS. The feeder drops into the top funnel and goes down the pipe to the next funnel. The return pump sucks it down from the 2nd funnel and up to the DT. The manifold pump shuts down when the AFS foes on. This way no food gets sent to the reactors etc.
 Finished re-wiring the dosers, ATO and the ATO bucket shut offs This pic shows the AFS funnel set up at the top a little better.  Have not decided if I am going to use the ozone generator or not...My ORP is always low (300), but not sure it it is worthwhile. Last edited by reefwithareefer; 03-30-2015 at 02:22 AM.

The mess of wires etc still to deal with....getting better, but man, I can see how this "hobby" consumes so much time, energy and moola...
  I kept the reefkeeper that came with one of the original tanks I bought and use it to run the sump lights etc. Can't get much money for them anymore, so might as well use it for something. I bought a used "cheap" brand LED light and tried it beside my halide/T5 fixture to see how it would do. After 3 weeks, my zoa garden looked pretty bad, softies were so so. I do not have a par/pur meter so not sure if it was set right for the depth or etc etc. I tied a few different settings but to no avail, so down to the sump room it went  Last edited by reefwithareefer; 03-30-2015 at 02:41 AM.
