Hello All!

Hi,
I am setting up a 110 RR acrylic. I have had other tanks over the years but to me this is my showpiece. I am making the wall unit for it in my living room, I am setting this up exactly the way I want it and have been collecting parts for several months.
I have the tank, ASM G3 with gate valve mod, mesh mod and recirc mod, 2 250 watt MH retro fixtures, 64 watt UV sterilizer, 2 - Quiet One 4000 pumps for returns, a 20 gal tank for a sump, a 20L for a fuge, most of the plumbing and a few odds and ends.
I still need a light for the fuge, retro T5 kit for actinics, heaters and some plumbing supplies if anyone has some to sell, let me know.
I also have a post in the skimmer forum if someone could help out I would appreciate it.

 

Sounds pretty sweet, welcome to 3reef.

 

Yeah, pretty cool!! Post some pics and Welcome!!

 

Welcome to 3reef. Glad to have you aboard.
One thing to keep in mind when you set the system up is that you don't get the water level in the 20 gal sump very high. When power goes off and the 110 gal drains you need to have enough room for the water. You will be surprised how much water is in 1 or 2 inch over a 110 gal tank. Just went through this on my 265. Had a 30g sump and only had the water up 1/3 from the bottom but when power went off it was at the top rim of the sump.... I went and picked up a 75g and made that 30g a fuge. Might be something to keep an eye out for, hate to hear you had a flood. :-/

 

To 3Reef!!!​

Sounds like a great system. Let us know progress!

Good Luck.

I thought about the back flow as well, I will be using check valves on each return line.

 

So far, your on the right track!! keep us posted and show us some pics!!
