Chris' Acropolis (Reef Savvy 88)

[ChristopherKriens]

Chris - awesome video. I will be plumbing my RS tank probably in February (waiting on the tank). I have a quick question for you. I will be plumbing together the new RS tank and a small 40 cube on the same sump. Both will run the ghost overflows on their respective tanks and be fed by a common pump. Is there any reason not to plumb the OC and emergency drains into one pipe heading into the sump? So I'd run two main channels, and then see about having the OC and emergency drains from each tank Y together and into the sump. Let me know what you think. If the OC usually runs at just a trickle I'd think its ok but I'd love to get your thoughts. Tank is looking awesome. Keep up the good work!

I don't see any issues with that. As long as the pipe diameter after the Y's come together can handle surge flow from both tanks, I think that would work no problem. Good luck with your delivery date

Still no delivery date on the calendar but fingers crossed for Feb.

Chris - my Reef Savvy 96 gallon tank just arrived and I'm re-reading your thread again to get some inspiration. How about an update?

 

[Janci]

Hi Christopher, has the frag tank taken off by now?

 

[Clayton Jessup]

I don't see myself keeping two systems right now, so the ELOS System is still dry.

Yeah this is pretty fantastic!

Very unusual shape, but as a former Elos tank owner, I know how well these are built and this should be a winner of a tank !!!

Congrats on purchase !

Super nice! Frag tanks are great but I believe the soul of reefing is about a nice display such as this; a window into nature.

Thanks for the nice words.

Here are some coral pics from this system:
