spspirates 150 gallon build

+1 to ^that^ Andy, and with all this detail in the build so far will be a hard task to outdo the setup with what may be on the inside..... maybe at this point just throw in a couple hundred neon color dyed Tetras and Danios and save yourself the headache of a Reeftank until the beauty of the stand and plumbing has wore of a bit... ya know like a year or two.... lol


Cheers, Todd

LOL!! Thanks Todd! It would of course be one of those japanese inspired aqua scape with designer plecos and a shoal of rummy-nose tetras!..lol I feel the real fun is coming soon. Return should be a breeze nothing like plumbing the drain.

Looks great bud! Loving the sump and that orange baffle is hotness. Can't wait to see the monster 1050 in there.

Thanks bud! the 1050 is going to rock it!

Finally tracked down two 1.5 inch black ABS U-bend pieces for the primary and secondary drains for the Ghost Overflow. This was no easy task. Definitely not a part that you would find at a walk in supply store.

OK so had to do a little hunt'in N pick'in and found what I needed to finish off the Ghost Overflow. So here it is.

Looks awesome! You got any of the return done yet?

 

[spspirate]

Thanks man. 3/4in bulkheads will be here soon. Saving up for the light fixture. Then I'll purchase the return pump of which will be the Reef Octopus 5500 DC return pump. I found a source for white vinyl tubing at 3/4in.

Took me forever to find that info and what I needed.

Yea there's not much on it. So maybe we can learn from each other on here. I didn't have to go with black ABS but I'm in no big rush and I wanted it to match. It's basically the BeanAnimal concept. I can't wait to see the Ghost in action. I hope it's quite as they say.
