Thanks. The fun is still to come with plumbing

I know that feeling. I need to plumb my 205 gallon. Yours should be worse though lol

No way it's all about measuring and mirroring. I already did one side. Waiting on more fittings or I'd be done with the main tank already.

Painted the frag tank. And ran into an issue with where I wanted to drop the pipe through the floor. Nothing a little flex PVC pipe cant fix. Be back at the plumbing on friday night.

 

[Deep dive coral]

The 6 return lines are all plumbed down to sump room. Next is the return lines to the main tank. After that it's the 3 lower tanks. Then I'll concentrate on bringing things to the sump. Coming together.

 

[Deep dive coral]

ok. Alot has been completed. Frag tank is painted, all upper plumbing completed, all lower tank plumbing completed, access hatchesfrkr the front completed. I just need to plumb the lower half now. Really moving along now.

Looking great!

 

[Deep dive coral]

New update. Installed the 2 additional lights on the main tank, drain lines complete from the right side, primary drain from the left side, and the small tanks drains are all into the sump. Received my heater and chiller. And I'm putting the frag tank in place tonight.

I dig the plumbers tape strapping. Simple, effective, cheap.

What? No carbon fiber plumbing straps and colored pvc? Weak.

Hahahahaha. Some cost just could not be in the budget. Lol. I did look into it. I dont want to tell you how many lengths of pipe are consumed just yet.

 

[pdxmonkeyboy]

yeah, it is shocking how fast plumbing costs ad up. I plumbed my 300 to the basement and was like.."umm, yeah probably take like $75 worth of plumbing" $250 later..

I am a big fan of designing the support systems for grow, not show.

[pdxmonkeyboy]

Not too late to tear it all out and put red and blue pvc in there... lol

 

[Deep dive coral]

Some eye candy/ reef ****... lol.... 95% done with plumbing.

 

[pdxmonkeyboy]

What are all those outlets for?

What are all those outlets for?

There are 4 tanks above the floor, a frag tank, and a refugium.

 

[Deep dive coral]

Finished up the plumbing to all of the main tanks tonight. Including the heater amd chiller. Need to just plumb the refugium and then for now.
