Craigars 920 gall total build!!!

It's finally started!!!

So the build has finally started!<br />
<br />
The system will consist of <br />
a 180 gallon reef (glass tank)<br />
225 gallon fowler (acrylic tank)<br />
<br />
Under the 180 there will be a 150 gallon 4 chamber refugium different types of macros (acrylic)<br />
<br />
In the basement will be <br />
<br />
a 125 gallon 6 chamber (acrylic) equipment sump which will hold skimmer reactors and all that fun stuff<br />
<br />
100 gallon acrylic frag/anemones tank<br />
100 gallon rubermaid stock tank<br />
40 gallon acrylic sump with ATo <br />
<br />
This will all be pumped by a reeflo hammerhead pump which should give me a turnover rate through the sump of <br />
4.5 water volume per hour <br />
<br />
All return flow from the fowlr will go through a 57 watt aqua uv sterilizer it's a 4' long uv sterilizer should keep the water crystal clear <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's a quick pic of the layout of the basement sump area<br />

the 180 as it currently sits <br />
<br />
The 225 replacing the spot of my 92 Bow front it will be a wall unit with shelves on either side<br />

 

Ohhh this is gonna be pretty cool. I imagine you are building a cabinet setup? That's what I wanted and built. Check my sig.

 

Yea mines going to be kinda like yours my shelves are going to be angles to the wall though

 

very nice ....

 

The mother of all builds......

 

Epic.

 

Updated pics <br />
Got my final 150 gallon sump in added shelves for frag been kinda slow on working on this i have been building a few stand for people so it left me with no time for my own stuff lol but i changed some stuff around all tanks are acrylic i eliminated the stock tank for a cleaner look tank<br />

what's the weight rating on those shelves?

 

if im not mistaken, a shocking amount.

 

Each self system is supposed to be 6000 lbs so 1200 lbs per shelf its a industrial miniture pallet racking and the way the tanks are layed out the weight of each tank is spread between two sets of uprights. We use them at work and we throw 1000 lmb parts on them all the time I did anchor them to the rafters also. They are tight against the wall on Borg sides and there's a beam in front of them so they really can't go anywhere!!!
