Fish finder 325 Gallon Peninsula Build

[Fishfinder]

The sump is 60x20x20. I went big so that I could have a 35-40gal fuge section, a skimmer section, and a return section

 

[Fishfinder]

Got a little more done. Sides are up. Working on the baffles now

 

[Fishfinder]

After some distractions we finally got the baffles in. Overflow goes into (2) 7" filter socks. Then into a 50 gal fuge. Then to the protein skimmer. Last chamber is the return pump back to the tank. Almost done just a couple most details to finish

Looks great man! Excited for you.

 

[Fishfinder]

All done!!! Final pics with the top rim on it

 

[Fishfinder]

Well.... big problem. Living Color called me today. They are cancelling the build and refunding my money. I could not get an answer but they said they are refunding all open accounts. I have to start over again with a builder.

I did the leak test today. Sump is ready to go

 

[Fishfinder]

Saved up a little cash and got all my powerheads. 2 MP 60 to go with the the 2 MP 40 that I currently have.

Also got a builder!!!! Tank me will be starting the build in January!! Hopefully it will soon after the beginning of the year!

These are the CAD drawings I just got back from them. 96x30x26 tall. 3 sides low iron glass. With a coast to coast overflow on the non-low iron side.

That's ****** man!

 

[Fishfinder]

That drawing changed with the new builder. Tank me will be the builder now. The new dimensions are 90x30x26tall. But the internal overflow box is gone. He is doing an external box and his zero overflow. This will make for nothing inside the tank. No acrylic boxes to get in the way. The overflow will be cut into the glass. Also doing a floating bottom now. It is going to be better than originally planned!!

Picked this up used on R2R!! One step closer. Kessil H380 for the fuge. I think that's everything except the skimmer. I need to start curing some rock also.

 

[Maritimer]

That is a serious project!

I'm curious about the "floating bottom", so I'm coming along for the ride. (Plus, I want to watch this beast go from an elegant glass box with beautiful beveled edges to an incredible coral-filled habitat!)

Started building my new dosing container today.

It's 20x20x7. 4 chambers. I'm currently running triton so I wanted a 4 chamber dosing container. Each chamber will hold just under 3 gal. So it should fit tritons 10L jugs perfectly. Got everything cut and temporarily glued. Going to add bulkheads and dosing tubes tomorrow.

Talked to Tankme today. He said that I'm about a month out on the tank. So excited to get it here!!! Got a coralbox doser from Reefbreeders today. Ready for the new system

 

[Fishfinder]

I got up in the attic and ran a wire for a dedicated 20amp circuit. For my lights and fans. Also got started installing an exhaust fan to keep humidity down. Slowly making progress before the tank is ready!
