Yes what you see going down my basement stairs is the portal (hole) that is literally sucking all my money out of my wallet....it is an ongoing phenomenon :rolleyes: Thanks for the tips too.....going to keep the portal hole open until the project is complete.

After you get your system up and running and start selling off some of those acro "tips" you're wallet would be alot happier ;). You have some hot acros, so I would be interested in some pieces if you decide to sell :D.

Glad to have you on board and it was an absolute game changer to have Reef Saavy build our dream reef tank on location in Ohio.

This is epic, following along for the ride. It's very cool that Reef Savvy was able/willing to go to your home to build the tank.

Thanks for the nice compliment, Rick and look forward to sharing this build with you.

Will sure be looking forward to buying more of your fantastic frags at next years LEAR.---Rick

Oh and subscribed ;)

Thanks, and welcome aboard.

tagging along, as this is an awesome build.

greetings. Very nice project, I'm enjoying following your journey. I had a 300 gal DT in my den with equipment room and 120o gallons of sump and speciality tanks in my unfinished basement. My nervana. After 3 years I had to eliminate the 800 gallons of rAck system tanks to lower humidity. I was afraid of developing a mold problem in the basement that could have severely devalued my home. So....you need to heat and air condition and sometime ventilate the basement space. I assume you have thought of this. Just tying the basement into your house HVAC system works.
Have fun! The ultimate fishman cave.

I was planning on adding a commercial dehumidifier as well. I have to be careful since my wife has a mold allergy. Thanks for the tips and glad to have you here.

Nice offer my friend. I think the job is filled now until further notice, Lol. And welcome to my build thread.

Do you want to adopted a 37 year old? I could feed the fish and do daily maintenance!

Epic!

We ended up retaining the services from this little guy to do daily tank maintenance....but he does not listen very well to date, unless your offer him ice cream!

Next up are some of the major equipment components I added for this project. Special thanks goes out to Reef Dynamics and Titan Aquatic Exhibits for these gems! For those who know me well, I go back many years with these products and I am still running my old RC 500 Euro-Reef skimmer to this day, which was purchased back in 2006. Built like a tank and still runs like new!

















Next up, family vacation to Aruba or just purchase 10 years of replacement parts and modified pumps for the skimmer and calcium reactor in advance? While Reef Dynamics is no longer in business, my plan is to keep this heavy duty equipment in operation for decades to come!

That Skimmer looks like it's about to blast off into outer space, I was looking for the next pic to show it headed skyward
