BAR Members Take On One @$%#* 250 Gal Tank !

[gimmito]

Finally finished the plumbing in the sump area (almost done under the house). Installed the Kold Sterile Filters and hooked up to Kati/Ani resins to make up some water. Got the fuge going also.

Plumbed the return lines.

Using Maggie mufflers on the 1 1/2" drains.

Man that's a tiny little skimmer for that sump!

Ok so that grey PVC coming out of the wall and dumping into the skimmer area is the return from the main tank? If so how does water get into the two compartments to the right of the skimmer area. I see one with sand (refugium I'm guessing), the other is.... freshwater?

The skimmer is a H&S A200 which is conservatively rated for 300+ gallons. It just looks tiny in a 125 gal sump.

I split one of the drains for the skimmer and fuge (the fuge light is clamped on the inlet pipe). You are correct that the far right compartment is for fresh water ato.

Nice job Jim. Looks really nice. I like the "anemone island." Very cool.

 

[Kensington Reefer]

That tank needs a large fowleri tang!
Looking good , Jim

 

[gimmito]

Thanks Kris. I wanted the anemone island to be a central focal point...big props to Johnny (Jestersix) for his rockscape!

Nice.

Is that Sch80 really blue? Paint or bad color from camera?

I'll blame the flash on the camera in a dark enviroment. The Christy's glue is blue though.
