Reef Bruh's 600 Gallon Upgrade

Unfortunately due to living in Florida I don't have that luxury of having a basement. The RO/DI is set up in the garage. This is an idea of how I am going to plum the system. This is going to sound backwards but Ill try to paint a pretty picture.

There will be a Tee coming out of the intake. That will be connected to two ball valves, one to the salt water mixing tank and the other to the fresh RO/DI tank. The return will go up and then 90 off into just the saltwater mixing bin. Between the 90 going in to the saltwater bin and the return output will be another tee with a ball valve and a hose adapter to fill the sump while doing water changes.

I will try and find a pic of some of the mixing stations with that same concept, hopefully.

 

Bottom of Stand

Well all the tanks are positioned under the stand. The space behind the sump is designated for the external protein skimmer. The space in front of the 55 gallon refugium and next to the 29 gallon ATO will be designated for the dosing section. There is space behind the refugium also and most likely that's where my calcium reactor and CO2 tank will be placed.





Any suggestions or better ideas are greatly appreciated.

Looks good to me

 

Thanks to you and panfish. Your input and panfish's ideas helped out lots.

 

Np, just glad that I saw that deal in time to save you a few bucks.

 

I dig bruh, those two tanks just gave you a huge leap forward.

I was asking about the basement thing because I use a AVAST Marine Works - Auto Top-Off Deluxe - Product Details to push water up from my basement ATO reservoir. Justin said it'll push upto 50ft.

How are you going to plumb the refugium in BTW? Are you going to go from the sump or drain directly into it from the DT?

Also, may I suggest painting the side facing the sump of the refugium and perhaps all sides of the ATO reservoir with Krylon Fusion Matte Black (or whatever color you want) to limit light spill and algae growth.

 

I am very grateful.

 

Your drawings made it possible. As for the fuge I have a tee coming from the drain to feed it.

 

I'm glad I could save you some headaches and money on custom stuff.

 

It's greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
