A remote sump in the basement hopefully. I'm batting a damp basement so I'm trying to remediate that first.

Very interesting build. Will the tank have frames on all the seams like in the computer drawing?

 

[Johnson]

No it's going to be seamless just silicone.

the bottom track is almost finished being welded. I gave up for today hopefully get it finished next weekend. So far so good.

This looks epic

All welded up and painted the stand looks good for now just waiting on the glass company to make the glass. Still need to think of what to use between the tank and the stand. Any ideas I think it's gonna be to heavy for foam.

Alittle hard to see but Im Trying to lay out the sump now. Trying to keep it simple as possible. Water in over 5 filter socks through a bubble trap. Then through the skimmer compartment through another bubble trap then to the return compartment. Anything any one can think of I'm missing???? Or could help?

This looks amazing! Following for sure!! I think simple is best in a sump, so looks good to me!

I am building a new 180 - got a 100 gallon horse trough that will have 50+ lbs. of live rock for a fuge too - I figured you had one in there somewhere! . Pretty much same set up as you - 44 long for the glass, filter socks into skimmer, flowing into fuge, then return pump. . Feel like I am on the right track since it is similar to yours! .

Epic build ! ! Tagging along

Yea I have used this set up on previous sump builds no issues so far just nothing of this size usually just 55 or 30 longs

Yeah - my 120 has a 40 gallon breeder under the tank - this is my first basement system and huge sump and fuge! I am excited! . I just showed my husband your tank and I think he almost threw up!!!
Worried I would want something similar! HAHAHAHA! I think 180 with basement sump is his limit.
