Well, here we go again. Adding a 225G corner tank (that's not in the corner...) to my 126G redsea and jelly tank. Going to plumb em' all together. Picked the tank up off facebook marketplace. It will be a FOWLR while the 126g remains the reeftank. Also, Jellyfish.

System:

RedSea 625 G2
225G corner
15G Jelly tank
Combined 75g (ish) sump

Filtration:

Reefmat 1200
RedSea 300 Skimmer
Refugium

Return Pump: Reeflo hammerhead gold hybrid

Powerheads:

Reef tank: Two Redsea 45s
Corner tank: Two MP40s?

Not sure how to get flow in the corner tank... still investigating.

Lesson learned #1: Make sure your doors are big enough to fit the tank. See that hole in the wall? Wife is super happy about it...

Current reef tank (read: Diatom farm)

Medusa Jelly tank to be added to the system as well. Most likely keeping Blue cannonballs or flames as they have the same requirements (salinity and temp) as the other two. I had Cannonballs in this thing for a long time, they are hardy and amazing to watch.

The plan is to get the new tank all set up (filling now), plumb the two sumps together and let er' rip. After making sure salinity and temp are the same, of course.
 
It looks like you have a lot of exciting things going on!!! Just seeing a Kreisel tank has me interested!

The Medusa is a great tank. Maybe a little overpriced, but its very "plug and play" for someone who wants Jelly's. I've had Blue Cannonballs and Moons (not at the same time) and the tank did a great job with them.

People say Jellyfish are tough to keep, but in my experience they are easier then a reef tank.
