500+ Gallons of Water with Fish Room

[ScottW]

More stuff arrived. My Reef Brite hybrids x 8 to go with my Noopsyche K7 Pro II’s. Had them make these custom. I didn’t want 8 power bricks for the K7’s and 8 for the RB’s so he made custom length and bigger power supplies so I’ll only need 4 bricks to run 16 reef brites.

Some more plumbing stuff, etc, etc.

What’s the nitrate dosing plan?

What’s the nitrate dosing plan?

Not sure as of yet, but I will use the versa for it. I have always ran VERY low nitrates and I lose color in my corals when that happens, so I will make sure I keep them up and the corals happy.

Also decided to get another custom 84x24x14 sump built, I wanted 90" but I don't have anymore more than 84" under the stand in the basement. I am just looking to add volume of water to the system, there is no need for it other than I want 600+ gallons of water, for me it is just much easier to control swings, etc. I have a good friend going to build the sump for me in the next week or so. I think I am about 4 more weeks for the tank +-.

Thank you!

I have a structural engineer coming over next week to help me with this.

Acrylic just showed up to the builder, hoping to have it in my house in the next 2 weeks.

Hey, love looking for the progress of what you got going on in your fish room so far. I went looking for post about floor support and found your build. Just curious as to what you found out from the structural engineer about your flooring situation? Good luck with the rest of the build, I look forward to seeing what's next.

Anything new going on?

 

[ScottW]

I need to do a huge update. Tank is in my office. Hope to support the floors this weekend and get water.

bought an Abyzz 200 for a return pump. It will connect to 2 x 1” sea swirls.

in flow pumps will be 6 x MP40’s, 4 arrived Wednesday the others should arrive next week pending ecotech ship out to the vendor.

here are a few teaser photos.

Nice I was hoping this build was still going on. I have a tank coming this weekend around same size and trying to get ideas.

I need to do some major updates. Tank is cycling and ready for fish. That’s next.
Ordered a custom 97x24x48” steel stand power coated in Red I pickup this weekend. I am going to put the 48x24x12 frag tanks back to back. I have them on top of each other now and I hate it.

excuse the mess that’s another issue. Lol.

 

[ScottW]

I picked this up a couple weeks ago. I have the tank draining right into this and temp have the abyzz shooting right back up to the 2 x 1” Sea Swirls. In the near future now that it’s cycled I am going to put 2 x 1.5” bulkhead into the bin and that will flow from the 300 to the bin, bin to the custom Bashsea Sump, then the abyzz back to the sea swirls. Then it will be 1 system.

Don’t mind the wires. I have all those moved and I put a piece of plywood to the back so I could mount the tubing to it for support. I’m just too lazy to walk downstairs right now lol. This will be a teaser.
