Awesome looking fish room!view of the Fish room as you enter:
Removed the ATI Straton and Added in two more of the Aquatic Life XP48 lights. it is just so much easier to have the lights all be the same. and the tank doesnt look all out of balance now. I also used shims to tilt all of the lights towards the center of the tank.
view of the fish room and frag tank. all connected. i have a return pump for the display and a separate one for the frag.
this is my Automatic Frozen fish food feeder. i use a neptune DOS to run food forwards and then flush the lines in reverse. i now can go two weeks before i need to change it out and it gets kinda stinky but not too bad. the temp in the fridge is 30 degrees because i use saltwater in the cup to lower the freezing point.
here is my plumbing: proud of these pipes!
here is my display tank. i used the orange glasses to filter out the blue light for the photo.
thank you so much! i really appreciate that!awesome setup! looks incredible!!!
much appreciated!Awesome looking fish room!
So i have one 240 gallon display, a frag tank and the sump. I also have a 10 gallon cubey in some pics but that isn’t connected.Looking great. It is a dream to have a fish room like that.
Seems like you are all set.
I went through the thread and have a couple of questions.
The sump ended up under the display tank. It would be my dream to have it up from the ground and clear from the tank. What changed your mind?
The system now includes 2 displays, one frag tank and the sump. Right?
What does degassing do? Is your water changes automated? I got lost a little there.In the beginning i was wheeling brute trash cans around. But i got very lucky and found two 100 gallon water storage tanks at the local Missouri botanical gardens. Because they are a nonprofit they couldn’t sell them for a profit so they sold them for 50$ each. So i plumbed them together in a closed loop so now i have one for saltwater and the other for fresh/ato reservoir.
I am on a well so i also have a 60 gallon square plastic tub for my RO water. It sits in there with an air stone and degassed for 23 hours then pumps through my di stages into my reservoir using a kamoer dosing pump. It is fully automated using the apex so my rodi is always full and when i get down to 50 gallons of saltwater i refill it and add 1 bag of instant ocean and so far so good!
Since this was taken i build a frame over the plumbing which acts as a step for when i need to get on top of the containers or add salt.
Sorry… yes I do automatic water changes. 2 gallons per day. Using the Neptune DOS. It is quite the luxury to have a fully automated system.What does degassing do? Is your water changes automated? I got lost a little there.
Definitely make it if you can! I will have a ton of food! The more the merrier! Plus it’s always fun trying to recruit new peeps into SLASH club!!I may have to try to make it to your bash just to see how this thing works... very impressive.
I been “in” SLASH for years. Unfortunately I never attend much because my anxiety gets to me. I’ve been to various events over the last 15-20 years. Heck I used to have the Slash card from back in the day when there were annual dues.Definitely make it if you can! I will have a ton of food! The more the merrier!
