My 100 gallon Mixed Reef Basment Sump BUILD

[DaScubaSteve]

Filtration setup thus far:
trigger systems crystal 30 sump
Aqua maxx AF-1 filter roller
Bubble Magus Curve 5 Elite
CW-100 algea scrubber powered by
Sicce 1.5
Aqua Ultra violet 57 watt
Panworld 150 ps External Return pump

My RoDi unit is to the left of the sump hanging on the stand. I have the rodi water go underneath in the gray bin. The waste water goes to the garbage bin all the way to the left and their is a pump with a float switch to remove all the water. The garbage bin on the right under the sump will have fresh saltwater to pump into the sump using a Dos water change system.


Need:
Temp controller and Heaters x2
Auto Top Off
Eventually an Apex with all the bells and whistles
Leak sensors
Dos water change setup

I am working on the Hood almost done just need to stain and poly then add magnets to the front panel that will connect to the frame. The side panels will be glued and nailed with finishing nails.

You can see the metal rings that will slip onto the shelving brackets. Makes for easy removal of the hood. My light is a 36 inch AI hybrid T5 that willbe dimmable. I will use the wire the light came with and place it over the center 2x4 holding it in place.

Ill attach more pictures when complete. Also take a lool at my aquascape I have been messing aroind with the structure om the right.. I really like the left structure will be nice with some sps on top years down the road.
