SnooknRedz's 75 Gallon(SHUT DOWN)

Sweeet!

 

now we wait...

 

Sump is almost full. Tested the flow to the refugium and all is well. I feel its the perfect amount. Its slow but it still gets some water flowing. Also turned my skimmer on for the first time and it fired up!( not that i expected it not to, just nice to know it works lol)

I want to leave the RODI unit on all night and have it fill the DT up while im sleeping. but im having second guesses about that... if my dog knocks into it or something... idk and i dont NEED it full ATM. I still have to clean it some. Any way ill shoot a video of the return flow when i fire it up here shortly to show what im working with. (ive never seen the actual flow of water from these with an empty tank. most have seen w/ water, but ill do a shot w/oI feel it may help some ppl out when deciding on a pump or this set up.) Ill show the fuge pump too so you can see whats up with that.

Salt and rock are next up for the tank.

 

Nice , glad to hear you are on your way to having the tank going. Great plan with a dog around.

 

Thanks 2, Im excited. Yeah, even with em sleeping next to me, i feel he may wander. With my luck we'd probably wake to the everglades. Ill let the sump fill up to the rim, run the return, shoot my vid and goto sleep. lol

 

As promised

Thoughts on fuge flow and return flow please! Personally, i think i did my homework

Also the guest bath is on the other side of that wall. Im thinking of putting my RODI under the sink in there, and running the outlet to the Brute ATO Tank. Its a tad cramped but i think with some ingenuity ill get r' done. It will make things a tad easier.

 

Awesome!

 

i thought so too! i also messed with the valve too to see the flow when restricted. I dont think ill be needing it tho. but its nice to have.

 

Heres a little bump. Any input in the flow would be greatly appreciated, this is my first drilled tank, so i can benefit from any of your experiences out there!

 

awesome progress! you've been waiting a long time for this congrats
