ReefSavvy 90 Rimless Dream Build

the new skin for the stand is complete!

So I have been running the Reef Octopus now for a few days and it is LOUD! I replaced the impeller as when it was given to me it had exploded. I need some advice on what the quietest skimmer you know of is. Want to spend under $350 for now. Thanks!

 

[Rimlessreefer]

Or is replacing the pump a better option?

Very Nice!!

The bubbleblaster pumps for the reef octopus skimmers are super quiet. I had one of the Sicce pumps that came with the Reef octopus diable 250 and it was so LOUD. I upgraded to the SRO 3000 which comes with the waterblaster pump and it is literally silent. Can't even tell when the pump is on.

w00 thats a beauty of a setup.

Yeah this skimmer has an old bubble blaster pump on it, might need to update it. Or just replace the skimmer.

Here is a pic of the water all cleared up, just waiting on my Hydra's to arrive!

Very nice looking...this is the look I'm going for on my new build. I'm contemplating the Hydra 52's and using the same brackets.

Thanks! The 52's would be way to much for this tank but they are pretty cool.

Thanks Guys! I just got the cable management done, let me know what you think.

 

[Rimlessreefer]

So I just tested a BRS 50ml/Min doser as my auto top-off. The kicker is that the reservoir is 75ft away in the garage :) After this test I plan on setting up an auto water change system using these pumps and and Apex. Stay tuned!

I love how thin the overflow is on this! is it just a standard bulkhead going through then the excess cut off after the nut is tightened? or ? the one regret I have on my cube is making the overflow 4 inches wide =/

 

[Rimlessreefer]

So the overflow is only 1.5" front to back and 24" wide. I had to cut the bulkheads down before hand to get them to fit. I can send you the plans, or price making one for you if you want. I have considered making them after seeing how well it has worked. It is SILENT! the only thing I can hear from the tank is the return pump and the trickle from the water in the sump before it tops off.
