3 tank continuous system

[KorL]

How is the water being transferred from tank to tank?

 

[Iamonlyme]

Using a powerhead and tubing like an overflow box concept

 

[Iamonlyme]

I meant pump lol

 

[KorL]

Not sure if that would be safe in the long run. The pumps flow rates may vary if they get dirty or one just quits all of a sudden. Then one of the tanks will flood

Any recommendations?

Here is what I did to my visible sump to make it more appealing to look at might help in getting ideas flowing

 

[Iamonlyme]

That is very nice great art work

 

[afamousjohnson]

Did this to the visible ato box to make it cooler to look at. They help tie all the front of my systems together nicely

 

[Iamonlyme]

Do I have a full tank pic?

[Iamonlyme]

I meant you lol and here was my goal my concern is the flow direction from each tank

Hoping to start construction next week just need to iron out some details thanks everyone

 

[afamousjohnson]

Ya I'll get ya 1 up. Still cutting front panel that frames in sump.

What about pulsing xenias? I don't know if they'd be able to spread to the main tank somehow though...

 

[Iamonlyme]

That is a good idea

 

[reeferKen]

Cool idea Iamonlyme, also gunna follow along here. Thumbs up.

 

[Iamonlyme]

Ahruk I was originally thinking NPS but maybe xenias will be better I have read that they grow. Pretty fast in a sump

 

[Ahruk]

Yea, they're something that I'd really like to have but not in my display as they can grow TOO fast and take over. I had a jar of them for a few months and loved watching them pulse, very calming. Whatever you decide to do I can't wait to see your tank when it's set up. I love picos and nanos. :)

Well not much new today itching to get started with this build but have to wait due to moving and my husband wants my head already for having to move 3 tanks lol so start date still next week :) however I have purchased the first reef inhabitants a goby pistol shrimp pair they will be the only ones living in the reef due to size and will stay in there current home with a fellow reefer until tank is ready now how about some input on beautiful macro algae for the one 2.5 and input on clean up crew something unique I think ;) and last but not least best nano led light out there tell me your thoughts :)
