Wow this is quite the project! I thought I had a lot of work to do with plumbing two 40B frag tanks into my system, I couldn't imagine setting this up! Looks incredible!

Can we get any updates. Pics. This is my dream build. I didn't catch how many gallons the show tank is and how many gallons each frag tank is. When you added that much water to your total system was there any cycle. You make it look easy.

The first post says they are:

4 - 132" x 60" x 18" Prop Tanks

1 - 144" x 48" x 30" Show Tank

In order to get the gallons just multiply out the volume in inches and divide by 231 (there are 231 inches in a US gallon).

So 132*60*18=142,560 cu. in. = approx. 617 gallon * 4 = 2468 total gallons

144*48*30=207,360 cu. in. = approx. 898 gallons

3360 Total gallons, not including sumps. That's almost 20 buckets of salt! lol

And I think they said it is a separate and not connected to their other tank systems.
