So......



Let's get this party started.....



Typical ranch with unfinished basement... Plans are to have a 210 display in living room and the rest in the basement. Equipment accumulated:

A few different stands
65 frag flat
75g sump
46g sump
75g
40 breeder
33 long
An acrylic divided invert tank
2 metal 55g stands
An older apex lite
A newer apex
Bubble magus nac7
A bunch of assorted pumps and heaters
4 of the 48" reefbrites
48" nova extreme slr 4 bulb
A bunch of other ****...

So far I'm thinking of a 125 refugium with 3 par38 pendants. Below it a 75 sump running 2 skimmers. This will feed my frag table and a 200ish gallon display in the "man cave". I also am thinking about building a bar with possible cubes on each end for predators. There might be a dart board, a poker table, and a movie projector in this so called man cave. Upstairs above said cave is the living room in which will house a 210g on the black and oak stand I built back in the day. The stand has room for a dog crate in it which will hold my viscous doggie while you strange people come visit.

You got a lotta water planned bro. Which tank is to start the party?

Have any rock brewing?

You need a bigger skimmer.

It's a start, walls for fuge area are sealed, just waiting for Matt to bring over the 125 to put on top...

Nice I'm already jealous of this build

 

[Smiley]

All I have is about 10 buckets of sand I've accumulated over the past 3 yrs. All has been rinsed, bleached, and sat in sun for weeks before going in buckets.. I figure I'll need a ton of rock, not quite sure where to get it or if I want to start live or dry.. I'll get the refugium and sump running by Jan 1, and start planning for the displays... Still need to stain the oak stands..

 

[Smiley]

I need to get a return pump... Must be able to handle 15 head and 20' run.. Also feed multiple tanks. Pretty sure I'll go with a reeflo...

Naaaa just another Nac 5.5-8 . The Nac 7 was super underrated. If he could find a atman 4000 skimmer pump he wont even need to change his skimmer.

 

[Smiley]

I'll get an eshopps skimmer.. They are pretty much a bubble magus with a sicce pump..

I have a reeflo Barracuda in my basement pumping up one floor to the living room, it's awesome. If you are ever in Loveland and want to check out what I did let me know.

[Smiley]

Did ya really think I could stay away?

 

[FinsUp]

I knew you'd be back. If I recall correctly, I told ya it wouldn't take long.

Let me know if you ever want to check it out. I'm right off Wilson and 29th.

 

[Shaunv]

Sounds like a man with a plan. Can't wait to see this all come together. Are you planning on plumbing everything together as one system?

 

[Smiley]

It will be one system, but it will have the ability to be split... My sump will have a skimmer on each end with return pump in middle...basement system will run off right side, living room run off right...

 

[Smiley]

took longer than I thought

Took longer than expected to find the right house to buy...
