K_Gokiburi Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Starting a new build after getting my own place. Tank: Red Sea Reefer XXL 625 Return Pump: Reef Octopus Varios 6 Planned but not purchased yet Wave Maker: Vortech MP40 x 2 Chiller: TECO TK1000 Skimmer: NYOS Quantum 160 Lighting: ReefLED 160s x 2 Will also be repurposing my old Radion Gen 3 as the refugium light. Tank Arrival The Qian Hu guys were really professional, kudos to them for making sure the tank was levelled and aligned. Tank came with the V3 sump and support brace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_Gokiburi Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 I wanted the chiller venting into the service yard and not the living room, so had the contractor create two openings so that I could run my piping outside. A total of 4 insulated pipes will run to the service yard - 2 for chiller, 2 for UV. UV will be run closed loop from the DT, have had good results combating ick and velvet when plumbed this way.

Yup, that’s correct. Though technically the piping was laid first and the cabinet was built around it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K_Gokiburi Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Gunk pulled out by skimmer. The rock was previously from another tank and had been sitting dry for a few years so had a lot of dead stuff on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably run GFO right now, old and dry LRs tend to have alot of phosphates locked in them, Quote EvolutionZ's Floating Reef: (Decommed) EvolutionZ's 4ft shallow Mixed Reef Build : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member ReefAddict Posted January 28, 2021 SRC Member Share Posted January 28, 2021 How did you run the UV in a close loop system? Wouldn't a pump be unsightly if placed directly in DT? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
