My piece of the Reef 300 + gallon system

Ha! I knew you would do that. Back room looks like it's all running smooth!
How did u set up the qt tank? Is it just a stand alone nano or what

For now it is plumbed together.

For now it is plumbed together.

Sorry I was thinking frag tank. The QT tank is just a 10 gallon with air sponge and bio wheel on the back - heater and a light

Well, Off to a good start - now to start the programing! Ugh....

 

[TriggerThis]

Oh man! That's a lot of modules lol

Man I am loving this set up. Definitely a little jealous. Lol. Makes me wish I had a basement. Instead everything has to look like a display and be housed under stands. Boo to slab foundations.

 

[Reefinny]

Man I am loving this set up.

Thanks man!! A lot of prep and thought went into it.

We have the main return going to the DT
Smaller return to the Frag Tank
Small Return to the Fuge
3 returns feed reactors
one return has a hose to fill QT tank
3 open returns for growth - one will feed my 90 in my office (fish only) and I plan 2small species tanks in the sump room at some point.

 

[TriggerThis]

OMG! Lol

 

[Reefinny]

I just found a 55 that is drilled on the side - I think I am going to pick it up and convert it to a deep sand bed fuge and sell my smaller one - this way I can grow some mangroves also... I love craigslist!!!

I am also going to convert my 70 to a sump and then plum in a 125 to my office with FOWLR tank set up.

 

[Reefinny]

okay been 2 months since I started the cycle - I have picked up some live stock and it is going well!!

I have converted the sump to a 75 gallon Oceanic sump -I am picking up a 120 gallon Oceanic tomorrow for my office and am piping I through the wall. this will be a Fowlr tank - going to go a little more aggressive with this tank. Triggers, Angels etc.

I will get some pics of the Reef tank up soon - I just redid the aquascape and am really liking It.

 

[TriggerThis]

Never heard of anyone plumbing a reef and fowler tank together. Mainly Bc they usually heavy stock the fowler.
Glad everything is going well. Still no leaks?

 

[Reefinny]

No leaks. Huge sump and separate fuge to run it. Fish stores run multiple tanks off one. Once I get the 120 fish only up I plan on upgrading my skimmer

 

[Reefinny]

New pics
