Dr. Booger's 150 Gallon Build

[drbogger]

Hi Everybody!

I purchased a used 150 gallon aquarium for $500, so I decided I'm going to start a build log of it's progress.

The sump is a used "ESHOPPS RS-200 (3rd Generation)", that I paid $80 for.

The return pump is a "Jebao DCT-15000" plumbed externally.

I just finished plumbing the overflows to the sump.

Now I'm waiting on the parts to finish the return plumbing.

More Equipment for the 150 gallon build.

I switched the return pump to a Jebao DCP-8000. The other one was too powerful.

-Coralife Turbo-Twist 12x 36 watt UV Sterilizer.
- BRS Media Reactor.
- Dual Jebao OW-40.
- Aqua Gadget Custom Cradle Nano (Probe Holder)
- 4x ZooMed MagClip.
- Reef Octopus 150 Classic Protein Skimmer

I am building a reef-pi controller, I will update with more pics and info on that project as I progress.

Lol, thanks!

I have well over $5,000 invested in this tank.
Took me about a year to get to the point of adding water. It's been setup for about 8 months.
