Sorry I slacked off so much on the updates everyone. I have been extremely busy and haven't had time or energy to update this.

But anyways update time!

finished off the mixing/qt closet

Then started working on the getting the renew system all setup.

First I installed the float switch and pump to remove the old saltwater from my sump.

Then I needed a place to mount the metering resviours above my sump so I picked up a piece of 1/2 inch plywood, mounted it to the steel stand, and painted it white to match.

Then I mounted the metering resviours.

Then started getting it all plumbed

Also added a couple of stick on LEDs to make working in the sump easier

Here is everything plumbed, skimmer dialed in, and swapped out the brs reactor for the elite aquatics reactor. Currently just running carbon.

Added a fuge light and some cheato since I have a little bubble algae popping up in the main tank

And my return section. Dual float switches and a float valve that all control my ato plus my temp and ph probes.

Then i decided to switch skimmers so i Made a stand and installed the super reef octopus rops2000int today. Still need to get it dialed in. Does anyone know if I should leave the cap on one of the silencers or leave them both open?

Got my second mp40 installed and synced up today. Excuse the corals all over the place. Still trying to get things placed.

Also noticed I didn't have any interior pics of my electronics/storage closet.

Getting my skimmer dialed in

Then Finally had some time to mount my brs dosing pumps.

And a full closet shot lol

Looks great. Placing corals takes time and then when you think you have it just right you get the urge to move something again.

Your setup is awesome and had a lot of thought put into it.

 

[TriggerThis]

Dang! I wish I had a sweet basement to plumb to my tank...
Great job, looks like you really know what you are doing.

Any idea on the cost so far? I;m looking at these pics and man you got like $300 in PVC alone lol

When you get everything complete youll just pull out your iphone and hit the water change button while your on the golf course.
Fantastic! Lol

[HPballer76]

Thank you everyone! As far as cost. Well I would rather not think about it haha.

Also Noticed I didn't have a moonlight pic here so I snapped one last night. The moonlights are 4 Cree royal blue LEDs built into the T5 fixture.
