Hello everyone,
After a few years of gaining knowledge and experimenting with smaller tanks I decided to put this system together.
It's a combination of 3 tanks:
370g main display tank
116g refugium display tank
194g sump in the garage
Equipment:
Lighting:
Main tank: 8x AIPAI A7 (6 with 35lenses, 2 with 55lenses) + 2 blue LED bars
Refugium: 2x Jebao AL 90 and a cheap blue/red bar
Circulation:
Main tank: 3x Jebao pumps (sow-15, mow-9, mow-22)
Sump: 2x Jebao slw-10 pumps
Refugium: Maxspect MJ (I'm considering switching to something smaller)
Sump pumps:
to main tank: Jebao MDP-20000 and Jebao MDP-10000
to refugium: Jebao MDP-10000
Skimmer: Octo Regal 300
Filtration via rockwork and Aquaforest Bio fil (2kgs)
A combination of 100kg dry rock and ~30kg live rock (moved from older system)
Sand in refugium only.
Heating/colling:
single Aquael heater that is mostly off due to other heat sources (pumps, lights, etc)
cheap sump fan triggered automatically with a temperature sensor.
The system finished filling up with water at the 10th of April (took me a month with the osmosis system that I had). Fully operation from the beginning of June.
Running on TRITON method.
Comments welcomme :)
I've rebuild it from a previous fresh water tanks system, so that influenced some of the design decisions.
PS: Many thanks to my lovely wife for convincing me to put it together.
