Gear cabinet starting to come together nicely. Thought about getting those fancy brackets to hold all the power bricks but velcro and a couple screws did the trick and looks clean. I relocated the ecotech pump controllers to the front where the American dj power strip is.
-
The rest of the gear is here. Almost time to get this bish wet! And my wife approves the waterbox 320.7 that will go into the dining room! Win!
-
Thanks all for the ideas! The jack post maybe the way I may go. Something I can easily do myself. I want to say the joist are 12-16' long. The wall is an exterior dining room wall with a big window. And yes if I do want to go bigger or wider I have about 12' of width. Hmmmmm
-
Actually I will put it against that wall perpendicular to the joist as there is a heat register there that I can disconnect and run my plumbing into the garage where I can keep the sump. Makea it easier for maintenance and I can implement awc.
-
I am thinking about getting the Waterbox Promax 270.6 72.3"×29.5"×23.6 or 320.7 86.6"×29.5"×23.6 or Cade reef systems.
-
Actually I can put it on the other side perpendicular to the joist. Would I still need support?
-
No doubt. I was hoping I wouldn't have to since the crawl space entry is in a closet. Hope I can get some concrete blocks down and drag some 4x4 through it.
-
My lat 300g display i put cross members for extra support. Looks like I will have to do it here as well. Uggggh I was hoping to avoid having to do that. It's the only spot I can put it too other then my garage.
-
So I've just been going back and forth on whether I want o set up the 80g system in the living room or (since I got the ok) just play with my 30c and look into a 5-6'x 24-30"× 20-24" DT. So that would put me at around 150-240g in the DT plus a 30-50g sump and perhaps a 10-20g ato rez. Putting the weight at around 2000 to 3500 pounds? Should I put floor supports in the crawl space? Looks like tank will be sitting parallel to the joist which wouldn't support the weight properly? Here are some pics.
-
Looks epic! I wish my wife would let me put holes jn the floor again lol.
-
Haha it came with the tank. I was thinking about redoing it cuz it looks kinda janky but my plumb work ain't that great either lol
-
Thank you! Yes I will definitely need all of the above but will 1st check out your tutorials.
-
Got my other apex energy bar in. Waiting on another dos/ddr set. 2 Radion xr15 and m2 return should be here tomorrow. Put the aquascape in the tank to see the final layout. Getting closer to getting it wet. Maybe in a week or 2.
-
Oh man that sucks! Sometimes a fresh start is needed but I feel ya on the lost.
-
Looks under the bed. Nope..... no money there haha. Beautiful nem
-
I want to but need to have my 80g system up 1st
-
Nice! Once I set up the 80g system I am make the 30g cube into a new and clown tank for my son. Would love to get a some when the time comes.
-
Thanks everyone. Since I have time to stare at my aquascape. This thing keeps growing lol. I thought I would balance out some areas. Added a couple more archs and ledges and still have lots of negative space within the structure. Does it look too much?

Wife Okayed a New Tank, She Didn't Say How Big

Nice! In the range of the size I want to go next. -
I must have missed what size your DT is. I don't have a big system yet. Still working on my 80g system. But I am planning it now. Want to really think of my end goal and work back from there.
-
Such an awesome build! I can't wait to have a big system again.

Hello all back in the hobby after 10-11 years
Reefsakes replied to Reefsakes's topic in Introduce Yourself
Yeah definitely. When I left we all laughed at led 🤣 💀. Now led leading the charge in all growing applications 😉. And yes controllers, dosers and auto water testing looks to be more mainstream. I have a build thread i started here. Only a measly 66g DT 80g system for now. Check it out
