Macksreef RSR625xxl new build

[Jason mack]

Hi im back , this time with ap RSR 625xxl ..

Custom pipe work
Floating reef ..
So this was the old plumbing set up..

So i went the red and white route ...

Added a manifold it will be run of a separate pump.!
Now for the floating reef idea ....
20mm thick acrylic ....bent into a U form ...

Then I heated it up too bend it ..

It can carry more than 50kg so more than strong enough ..
Scape is not done i was just testing ..
Now I know it will work the way i want ive ordered a second one ...

Its a work in progress ..hopefully it should be done next week and i can fill the tank and start cycling it ...

This is going to be a fun build. I have a question or two for you. How long was the piece of acrylic that you used and how did you heat it. I’m thinking heat gun but I try to see if something else works better.

Total length was 860mm ..it was 200mm wide and 20mm thick ...I used a paintstripper heat gun too heat it up and bend it ...then just let it cool off naturally...

Mack,
It sure looks like a perfect bind on our end.

Thanks for sharing... ;Writing

Have a great night.

Looking good Jason! I love the floating reef execution. In the past I regarded those as a "gimmick", but lately I've seen so many "floating" reefs in nature I've grown to love the idea. Fish and so many other creatures flock to these floating reefs! It's also a great place for NPS LPS.....just sayin'.

Sure hope it doesn't get dinos during the cycle.
