Dbo's 210g Build

I'm setting up 210 with 75 gallon sump/refugium. I would have gone with two tanks under for sump refugium. Everything fits but with reactors, dosing pumps, return pump, it's getting tight. Also luckily my stand is 38 in. high.

 

Well it made it. Had to drive a hour away to get it. load it up. and then get it into the basement. Definitely not easy but it made it.
I have some work ahead of me to clean it up but it shouldnt be that bad.
Stand needs some trim work and that's about it, its built super solid.
Im going to redo the silicone inside the tank as its pretty beat up, tank holds water fine so this shouldnt be a issue to replace.
Also the guy had added the glass inside that you can see it the pics, he filled the area with sand and then had rocks leaning over the glass to create a ledge...yeah not gunna happen with me. that's getting removed also.

 

Thanks man! yeah I haven't ordered the powerheads yet but am planning on doing it in the next few days so ill definitely look into it!

Yeah hopefully ill have more than enough room to with the setup im going with. I got the 40 breeder drilled on Saturday and then put it in the stand and it just barely fits, but it fits! lol

 

nice, lots of fun work ahead of you

 

You had mentioned you were going with (2) Jebao WP-60's, right. I would get some larger sand as the two in my tank stir the sand pretty good in my 220. the wp-60's are awesome tho.

 

That tank looks great, that ledge would be allright too IMHO.

Congrats on the new DT!

Is that your ugly mug in the Pic? ;-)

 

Thanks, yep a lot of razor blades and elbow grease!

yeah I think im going to go with 2 wp60s with the twin controller, ive always used caribsea reef grade sand...hopefully itll stay still.

yeah the ledge thing I thought about quite a bit, but in the end I always like to have separate island with sand in between so the glass would have to go. yes that's me in the pic...not sure ive ever put my face out there on this site so there ya go hahah

 

Ordered up the rtv108 for the reseal and the wp60's with the twin controller today. Skimmer should be here by friday.....I'm rocking and rolling.

 

Can't wait to see how this progresses!

 

Awesome! Happy for ya'. Good choices and can't wait to see the build evolve. Post some pics of the sump setup. Interested to see how that'll work out with the 40g breeder.
Again, congrats!
