No sps in this tank,there is too much of a bio-load & I'm not giving up any of my fish for a coral

Yes it is. I was going to work on taking some pics later tonight. Trying to get my DIY kalk reactor finished and get some RO/DI holding container plumbing finished up. Then straighten up a bit for some pics, looks like a bomb hit it down there.

I'll try and get pics up tonight, otherwise tomorrow a.m.

Ok, here are some pics of the sump/refugium/growout area in the basement. If you have any questions or want to see better pics of anything in particular, just ask. Really didn't clean much up tonight, so they might be a little messy.

The clam tank still needs to be put on the new stand and the plumbing as well. Probably a few weeks away from getting that done.

WOW! Very cool, Great job on the sump/fuge/grow out area, looks well thought out and easy to maintain!

vtec si · 04-08-2005, 08:28 PM

Can you explain the prosess of this set up? I think I can tell what is what but not for sure. Is that A DIY CA REACTOR? If so where is the C02 canister? What is the 40+ gallon TASH CANS purpose?

LOOKS AWESOME!

All the water drains into the little box on top of the sump, kinda like a pre-sump. The idea was that box would cut down on bubbles entering the sump from the long drop, and it does to a certain extent. Water flows threw the sump to the return pump which is Tee'd off. It returns to the tank upstairs and the growout tank. The growout tank drains into the refugium via a overflow box. The refugium then drains to the sump via a bulkhead in the side of the refugium.

That is a DIY Kalk Reactor. That 'trash can' is a 33 gal. can that holds RO/DI water that the kalk reactor will pull water from. I also have 2 more of those cans, one for RO/DI and the other for SW. The RO/DI can has a pump that will push water to either the SW can or the kalk RO holding can.
