SnooknRedz's 75 Gallon(SHUT DOWN)

Any other updates, SnookReds?

No 75g for me any more...

 

Nope, money's too tight to get this going as fast as i would like to. Im going as fast as humanly possible lol. I know bro I still cant believe that happened you were so deticated to that tank. Dont stress too much tho make that 29 something else. And dont forget to lurk CL, maybe summin will come up!

 

I know what that's like (not having money). lol.

Yeah, thanks. This hobby means a lot to me. I am searching Live Aquaria and other vendors to pick out my stocking list and corals for the 29g.

Lighting will either be a Boost LED Mu series 135w fixture or I will have 2 Kessil A150W Ocean Blue lamps.

 

LED's huh? Thats nice. Cant wait to see that.

 

Got to work on the tank today, in a way... lol.

I drew up how I am going to put together my 40Breeder sump on sketchup.
(note in the return section i plan on having some maxi jets to power brs reactos as well)
Total water volume is going to be right at 100 Gallons total.

Another from a different angle.

Ill have the Overflow kit and 2 return kits for xmas from santa he told me so. lol. Hopefully i can have water in it by new years for testing.

 

Congrats on the 40 breeder sump. That is what mine is. Lots of room for equipment and such.

 

Thanks 2!

I know, after sketching that up i was pretty surprised. I was thinking on the Fuge side i could go up to 13" if i really wanted to to have closer to a 15 gallon fuge. Nothing is set in stone.

i want a 3-5" DSB for sure in that bad boy so i feel 13" is closer to the real dimensions. ill add rock n rubble and i can get mangroves easily from local fishing spots.

 

Rough plumbing plans.

Here's my thinking. I was messing around in the garage today and found an old red neck golf set i made yrs ago. Well heres what I have
**Note i dont have anything set in stone, i just held it in place. This is my first attempt at plumbing an aquarium using a sump, so keep me in line if i cross it lol.
Overall shot. from the middle of the tank is where i plan on drilling my overflow. the very left ill put a gate valve between the "T" and the 90º elbow. This to regulate flow to my fuge.


Left side will be fuge right side inlet. (refer to my sketchup model in the previous post. I plan on only changing the plumbing on the sump, im confident in that set up with the baffles. Ill put a 45 fitting on the end of both the pvc going to the inlet side of the sump,( Ill put a filter sock on it as well). and the fuge side with another straight peice.

For my returns I would like to go with this. Ill use flex tube from the bottom of the pvc to my return pump. This will be on both sides of the tank. The top will be attached to loc line returns.


... any thoughts?

 

Nobody has any input?.. really? guess im just gonna have to wing. it.
