In case you're wondering about water tubing routing...  There is no water supply nor drain in my fish room.  So everything goes ~50 feet back to the laundry room of the house.

Three Lines to/from Laundry room, routed around garage ceiling, into fish room

• Raw Freshwater as input to RO unit (yellow) - from laundry room
• RO waste water (green) - to laundry room  drain
• Old Saltwater (black) - to laundry room drain (stops at main sump alcove)

Two DOS pumps live above the main sump alcove  (not shown in pictures)

• DOS1 - Auto Water Change.   Old salt water (black) goes to laundry room.   New salt water (orange) from Salt mixing station tank
• DOS2 - Auto Top Off.  Top off RO water (blue) from RO mixing station tank

Four Lines goto Mixing Station & RO unit alcove (just visible on right of first picture)

• Raw Freshwater as input to RO unit (yellow) - from laundry room
• RO waste water (green) - to laundry room  drain
• New salt water (orange) - from Salt mixing station tank
• Top off RO water (blue) - from RO mixing station tank

Main Sump Alcove (laundry room to the LEFT, mixing station alcove to the RIGHT)

 

Route into the garage, onto way to laundry room

 

In garage, routed just below ceiling around the garage perimeter 

 

I cut a drain in my floor. I didn't want a bunch of pipes running all over the place. 

I would be interested in one.

Thanks

 Pacific snake eel. (Ophichthus triserialis)

very rare to be up here on the Oregon coast.

Sunset Beach, North of Gearhart

There is a sea snake washed up on the beach near where I'm working. The local aquarium is on the way to deal with it

 Hawaiian Dragon eel. My favorite. Will eat all your fish

Is the ati fixture brand new?

C'mon John - you can do it!  Think of all the spare time you have to practice and file permits 😁

And the lines at the permit office will finally be short!

Unfortunately mine is not a DIY project.  It involves excavation, foundations, framing, roofing, plumbing, new electrical panel, HVAC, etc.

Although I do it myself,  im actually a contractor and carpenter  for over 25 years. Built hundreds of homes from the ground up,  I understand how expensive it can be building quality things.  That's why I like doing them myself and originally why I became a carpenter. Materials can be expensive,  but labor adds up quick

Hey Nick - how much of that are you doing yourself?  If you get bored I have a few projects... or maybe you could do Suncrest's fish room 

 

I'm doing it all my self! I understand how expensive remodels can get.  Im a huge fan of buying materials at the habitat for humanity restore.  Im doing a million dollar remodel on a  thousand dollar budget, my specialty.  Next on the list is an outdoor kitchen with pizza oven. 

Now is a great time to do home projects. We are finishing a big basement remodel, fish room, tank in the wall, meditation pavilion, garden shed, and new deck!

Superb bullet holes!

Reach out to Patrick at Saltwater Obsessions.  He had an extra large sump box last week when I was looking for one last week.  It didn’t fit my location, but maybe it could work for you.  It’s Large. 

It was gone when I inquired

Looking for a large sump to handle around 500 gallon system. 

Let me know what you have.

These are as close as I can find to your dimensions on a readily available sump https://www.coralvue.com/icecap-36xl-reef-sump. Why were you thinking 23" high? Thats a pretty tall sump. 

The icecap sumps are really nice! Nice clean look as well in my opinion.

I had this guy do my electrical.  Let me find his number for you

Good condition black marineland stand 72"x24" 

Decided to build the tank in the wall instead.

Can possibly deliver
