** FLSharkvictim / Custom Rimless SCA 150 Build ***

[FLSharkvictim]

My DOS came in today for my AWC's!

 

[FLSharkvictim]

Moving my 150 so I can start hard plumbing it so I bought two sets of 2 of these FCHO Glass Suction Cups - that are Heavy Duty Aluminum Vacuum Plate Handle Glass Holders to Lift my SCA150 RIMLESS TANK to the correct location in my new house...

Had to move all of my live rock that's currently recurring inside instead of my garage where temps were hitting 90+
I'm currently recurring around 100lbs of Marshall Island & Tonga Branch live rock for my this build.

 

[FLSharkvictim]

Working on floating my Orphek compact Gen 2 lights from my ceiling, so I have decided to buy 2 of there new Orphek Universal Fixing Bracket bars to make much easier for me down the road to add there new Orphek - OR3 lighting to give my tank more pop like what you see in the picture below:

Many thanks David!! It's finally all coming togerther.. The hard plumbing will began in 2 weeks so I can finally get some water in this SCA150 ones in for all . Anyways, how was Reef-A-Palooza in Orlando?

 

[Peace River]

Build looks good - cheering for you! RAP Orlando is this weekend and I'm sure it is going to be a great time!

 

[FLSharkvictim]

I ordered some more goodies for my build...
'I bought another EB4 for my saltwater mixing station, so now i can run my tank and mixing stations controlled by 1 apex. Plus some extra Sch 80 fittings and the FMM module 1'' flow sensor from # BRS!

 

[FLSharkvictim]

Today was a good day in the Tampa Bay, finally moved my SCA 150 to the correct location of my house.
Plumbing will start in the next few weeks so stay tune.....

 

[FLSharkvictim]

Got in some more goodies from Bulkreefsupply.com - Saltwater Aquarium Supplies.. I need a bunch of 90's and 45's and a few more Cpex ball valves plus another Apex #EB4outlet so I can totally control everything on my 50 gallon saltwater mixing station. I bought the 50ft custom made Aquabus cable from Firewire b/c Neptune does not make them since my tank and my mixing station sits around 40 ft from each other.. Next week I will be starting the hard plumbing with all Spears Gate valves and Cepex Ball Valves along with all sch 80 fittings..

How did you make your equipment cabinet ?
What size sump are you running

I bought my panels from Marine Depot a while a go...

My sump is a Synergy CL-44 w/ a Matching Synergy 10 gallon ATO that connected to my 50 gallon salt water mixing station.. I also bought 2 DOS pumps so my water changes will be fully automated with my Apex controller.

50 gallon saltwater mixing station.

Just 1 EXAMPLE on how I am going to hard plumb my External oVERFLOW BOX...

-----------------------
UPDATE ON MY BUILD - I AM BACK:
As we all i know i HAVE been AWOL for a few years.. I have been concentrating on work which required me to travel out of town a lot .. I am now working remotely so i am back and READY to finish up this build ones for all.

The only thing that I need to do in order to get this beast up and running is to hard plumb my entire system which is currently a work in progress. I am going to be running a Synergy 20" external Overflow box w/ 2 COR20 pumps.
Plus two EcoTech Marine MP40's and 2 TUNZES pumps for tons of circulation and a Algae Scrubber which will all be plumbed in.
