Muttley000 500 gallonish MTS thread

[Muttley000]

Ive been working on this for a few years now. It started with a 270 gallon plywood sump connecting a 40 breeder, 40 long and 30 gallon. I later added a 65 gallon, a 100 gallon Rubbermaid cryptic fuge, a 20 gallon holding an ATS,,and am currently adding a 90 gallon. Long term plans include a couple more small tanks,,amd a 10' plywood build on the system. All current tanks a lit with rapid DIY LED's, skimming is a MTC, HSA 1000. An apex 2016 automates the system for me, amd I have a fuge with a kessil360 and a biopellet reactor on the system also. I am setting up 2 DOS units to deliver ATI essentials to the system.

Nice, but we need pics!

I have much of it documented in my local forum. Am I allowed to link to those threads?

Adding a 90 to the system, will plumb in next weekend. Getting close to 600 now!

90 added. A pair on xr30 gen4 will light it and a pair of wavs will provide flow!

Update on this part of the system. I have hung two radion xr30 G4 pros on it and added a Wmm module. I will be selling the mp40 and Reeflink that are currently on the tank as a pair of WAV pumps will be here Wednesday to provide flow to the tank. So I am feeling like the sky is the limit stocking wise outside of the footprint, any suggestions?
Also this was my first crack at a proper Beananimal overflow, it is so quiet! I did a wier across the short side, and couldn't be happier!

My wavs are installed, ready to start stocking!

And I need to enter a contest lol:

I know I should update this thread more often, but my local forum is cranking right now and it is my first love lol. I did make my first video today of my sump. Any comments welcome!
