DiscoBiscuit's 200 gallon chain jewelry box

[DiscoBiscuit]

There's 150 gallon sump. The system is going to be against that right wall stacked two deep.

I got the 4750 because it maximize the flow on the motor size, and it's perfect for a 500 gallon system.

Ordered 4 more Zoo med low boys for pick up on friday. Will probably then order another 4 for next week. Just ordered the 10 overflow boxes I'll need to plumb them.

Just spoke with my building contractor. We are getting together this weekend to start getting the system built!

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

Just grabbed a Neptune DOS peristaltic pump for some automatic water changes!

I'm thinking about ditching my vortechs and going with the gyres in the display and moving them over to the frag tank . Have to let us know how they work for ya .

The DOS and the 10 overflows for the frag tanks came in!

Hope everyone is doing well and happy reefing!!!

I've got a lot of stuff coming in this week. Thinking about ordering two norwesco 165 gallon cone bottom tanks for the Salt water mixing system and ATO/RODI.

This is what they look like.

That way I use and entire pack of salt at once. Makes everything simpler, with that and the cone bottom.

I decided to go with flat bottom 165 gallon tanks because It's just cheaper without the stands. These suckers are huge and I wont be able to put two in my tahoe at once.

I'm trying to somewhat replicate Jason Fox's system. I've always liked his basement setup.

The people have finally moved out of that garage so I can start moving the bulk of the equipment in there!

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

Here's the garage, after I moved most of the big stuff in there this morning.

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

Just set up the first shelf to see how they go together.

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

Sorry this thing is taking so long. We are going to have to jackhammer a drain into the garage floor and plumb water out there. Trust me though, this thing is about to come together really quick.

Thanks man, it's crazy turning your hobby into your business, especially picking it back up after all these years!!!

I don't know whether I'm getting more nervous or excited as it gets closer to completion!!!!
