Hello, wondering if the I arranged the rocks right height and etc for corals. I’m planning on getting 2 hydra AI 32 led to replace my pair of viparspectrum led lights. The height will be 6 - 7 inch from water level.
Planning on keeping sps on left side and middle. LPS & softie will be on right.
My plumbing is a bit weird but hopefully works since I’m planning to have another 92 gallon cube.
First when I set up my tank, I had a leak from the bulkhead due to sand underneath the rubber on the wet side so I ended up having to drain the whole tank after 4 days of setting up for cycle. After couple of days of planning my new plumbing, thought I had everything under control but once again I had another leak but this time it drained onto my floor about 30gallons of water. I tested my overflow but it was flowing to fast and to much so my sump couldn’t handle it and overfilled.
If you’re reading this then you know why this happen as a experienced reefer.
I didn’t a value to drain...
So I temporary cap off the overflow and did my plumbing again a little and added a value. Tested tonight worked perfectly lol.
Onto my sump ( eshopp rs200 ) &refugium ( 10 gallon, upgrading to 20 gallon ) plan. I will be doing a test tomorrow to adjust flow rate to match 3 tanks with 2 separate return pump with similar GPH rate. I ordered a jebao 8000 just in case and will arrive next week. Currently I have fluval SP2 for my sump pump feeding reactors and to refuigum with 1 drain intake from the 60 gallon and the other intake will be for my 93 gallon with the other intake going to refuigum since I will be having two drain overflow on the 93 gallon ( eshopp pf1000 ) the refugium is underneath the 60 gallon stand that came with it as a sump but it has a very odd size... extremely tight and small. So I’m using it as a temporary refugium then will convert into a tank that will be filled with bio bricks and as extra volume. Currently using jebao 4000 as return pump for refugium since it’s only feeding back into one display tank for now. The 20 gallon I’m planning to use will be drilled to overflow back into return pump section in sump and will be pump into bio tank and finally back into display tanks.
If anyone got better ideas with what I should convert the 10gallon tank underneath the 60 gallon would be more than appreciated
also if anyone think there’s a problem with the plan and plumbing, please help me out. I’m very scared to have another flood and can’t afford for repairs. Might have to quit if another flood happens, says the wife
