Reef Bruh's 600 Gallon Upgrade

Thank you very much, thank you very much.

 

First thing, I went to the HD to get the parts to plug the holes I originally drilled for the closed loop. Basically they look like this:

This was for the two 2 inch drains.


This was for the eight 3/4 inch returns.


The plugged bulkheads were added and both sides look like this: the oddball bulkhead is the replacement because I cracked the original one.



I drilled two 1 inch returns and three 2 inch drains. Before the tank was taken to get buffed I altered the overflow and switched it from two 2 inch drains to three 2 inch drains. The center 2 inch drain will be a dry chamber so I can run the cords from the wave makers and power heads to the inside of the stand.


I will go back to the HD to get the PVC pipes for the overflow and do a leak test. Updates will be following soon. Input is appreciated.

 

Leak Test Commences

Zero Hour


Hour 1


Had to stop filling the tank because there were leaks coming out of 6 of the 12 bulkheads. Will have to fix leaks and try again later.

 

Looking good Bruh. At least you are now testing it. Before you know it. You will have it all setup.

 

Yea but now I have to solve the leak problems.

 

Tanks looking good! That plumbing seems intense.

 

I couldn't image having a tank this big. Looks nice, but I can barely stay on top of my 75 gal system.

 

Thanks RG. Only the overflow. The others are to close the holes I drilled for the closed loop which I'm not doing anymore.

 

My secret is not to treat it like a big tank. Even though it is a big tank.

 

What are you going to do for the leaks bruh?
