coralreefer Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 everything looks waaaay too clean and orderly...I don't trust what I am seing...couldn't you have more loose cords, stains and dried gunk on things? What are you trying to do? I expect owners of the best tanks to have the "work" area look like a war zone!!! Come on, man!!! DrMerle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markdadof2 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I have a few pictures: 60G cube with a Reeflo Dart closed loop system RPS 2000 skimmer Schuran micro Ca Reactor PM Kalk reactor custom sump with refugium Phosban reactor (two little fishies). Reefkeeper Elite with .net module I forget what my return pump is :( Pacific coast imports cl280 chiller ATO Chiller and new Kalk reactor The VERY full sump - the schuran Ca reactor has the red top ATO for the makup water in the garage - dual float switches - If you need one let me know Solenoid for the garage ATO for makeup water. RO/DI unit in garage: And, one of the most important items - Generator for those powerless days: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylaster Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 nice mark, i still can't believe all the stuff you got stuffed under the stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrd Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Nice equipment combos there guys, had I known what I do now, things would be different but for now I havea ; 20 gallon sump but it houses; Pentair Quiet One 6000 1500 GPH return pump HSA-250 skimmer ran w/ mag 9 pump Coralife turbo twist 9 watt UV sterizer that is ran by a MJ1200 that also feeds the 2 little fishes Phosban reactor and my calcium reactor (forget the name/model) Sump also contains 400 GPH pump to feed chiller thats located in the garage. The wife loved it when I drilled 3 holes through the wall-1 for the auto top off feed, 2 for the chiller in/out-go DYI! Marine Pinpoint PH controller to run my Calcium reactor-keeps me dialed in-set it and forget it Marine pinpoint PH monitor RO/DI(located on other side of wash basin) with booster pump (I have NO water pressure) in laundry room with Dual inline TDS meter-goes through the attic into the garage 35 feet so the booster is really needed!; 35 Gallon resivour to hold RO/DI water for water changes and also gravity fed into sump that houses a float valve to keep sump at constant level and maintains SG to 1.025; 1/10 HP Chiller by Current keeps everything at 77 degrees; I think that's it. For my 1st real tank I like it, next build I do I will have subtle changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIY skimmer w/ Sedra 3500 (meshmodded) also on the left. The Mag5 return is tucked in behind the skimmer pump. Right side compartment is for extra liverock and 'pods... plus the heater lives in there too: My DIY kalk reactor. Bigger is better: Sump-Cam 2010: ACjr, Brute full of RO/DI, ballasts and RO/DI filter left to your imaginations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nnewhouse Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Nice setup fishmanmike01! Those rusty clamps on your sump make me a little nervous though. I had an accident with one of those. . . .

reefnjunkie Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 What are you using now? I've never seen an all plastic one. Large plastic zip ties-they make some serious heavy duty ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
