okay. so the new plan for my 75 gallon display tank will be a basement sump/fuge/frag grow out area.
but i am no expert, so i enlist your help!
heres what i have in mind:
glass tank for fuge/frag rack. (tank size?)
rubber tub for live rock.
1" drain, 3/4" return.
auto top off directly from RO filter.
10 gallon tank for water change
10 gallon tank for quarantine.
equipment will be all external (not in sump):
return pump (will need like 700gph with 10-15' of head)
external recirculating skimmer (reef octopus)
calcium reactor (future use)
hazards:
my basement has flooded in the past, so things will need to be a minimum of 1' (max flood has been about 4") off the ground. all electrical outlets are safely on the wall.
now to just brainstorm and design it out, hopefully with your help and advice. Use this thread to shoot ideas please. ill upload drawings of plans, layouts, and diagrams as i think of them.
thanks
here is something i'll be leeching ideas from:
Reef LED Lights .com Build Part 2.m2ts - YouTube
don't need this huge of a scale, but do want a similar filtration idea.
