That looks really good IMO. I would think about an auto filter roll instead of socks myself, but I’d you are willing to do the work the socks work well. Just change them often if you are having trouble with high N and P.Would appreciate your opinion..
So my sump has 6 sections. this was my plan but not sure if something better more efficient can be done...looking to keep alot of fish so heavy bioload...water flows in
1. Drain intake from display.
2 water flows over 2 4 inch socks.
3 large skimmer section 16x18
4 12x18 area...thinking of using it for rubble rock...sand for critters?
5. 12x18 area...thinking of using it for chaeto...
6. return section
Thoughts?
not sure why it's putting 2 imagesLooks like you attached an image in the first post for your new tank but somehow deleted it. Upload a new one here in a post and I will fix it for you!
I'm going to build a tank similar, so this is great inspiration for me. I'm actually going to build the tank, so if you don't mind me asking, how thick is your glass? My dimensions will be 60x34x26. I'm hoping I don't have to go with ¾ thickness and can get by with ⅝ or possibly ½. I'm hoping for it to be rimless as well.My new tank!
Here's my old tank (150g) I just sold a few weeks back as I get ready to upgrade to my 260 gallon starphire mixed reef.
New tank: 66x36x25 starphire...take delivery in 6 weeks..using bean animal
Sump: DIY acrylic 60 gallon tank converted to sump
Skimmer: Bubble Magus B11...just got it for a smoking deal!
Lights: 4 AI Sol, also have a 60" with 2x250 metal halide and 4 80w T5s light fixture. Trying to figure out use all 3 or use AI sol with T5s?
Apex controller
2 MP40ws and 1 Jebao CP-150 (like a gyre)
DIY wood stand 40" tall
Media reactors for phosban and carbon
Dosing using Bubble magus BM-T11 doser, B-Ionic, NoPOX, Magnesium
Lots and lots of fish!! Mostly softies and LPS
Next week start on my stand!
That looks sweet.It's finally here!! The front to back at 36" looks amazing!! Just have to add the trim around the tank to hide the styrofoam. It sits at 41.5" tall now! Wow!
Now to start working on the plumbing so I can move the tank against that wall behind it. Of course my little guy is excited. He wants the fish in there now!! Not tomorrow or in a couple of days...now!! hahaha
Also the light fixture running on AI classic rails. 5 AI sols with 4 80w T5s. It's at about 29" wide. Planning on putting the rails on 2 drawer sliders in the canopy so I can push it towards the back in case I need more space to work inside the tank.
