So 2 years after my new home purchase, I am now getting back into my salt water addiction.
This will be my 3rd tank, but really my first "Adult" setup. I finally have enough room for a full size sump, refugium, and an observation tank.
This should put the total system volume to just above 245 gallons. The sumps will house the main return + Aux pumps, a Life reef skimmer, 5 media reactors, 1 bio reactor, and a 10 Gallon refugium for just marine pure / livestock jail. Unfortunately going from a 50 gallon setup to a 120, I have to purchase more equipment, but hey, that's part of the fun, right? (Not for the wallet ;p )
Tank Setup January 2017
Lifereef Extension Sump and 20 Gallon Refugium
Behind the tank (In the crawlspace) 50 Gallon Observation tank & Marinepure Fuge
This is shot from the closet to the left of the Display tank, looking into the support system area.
The Pump for the Marinepure Fuge. Top outlet Goes to custom drain I setup for water changes.
Head on shot of the 50 Gal Observation Tank.
Manifold Built for Media Reactors + Main Fuge + Aux Output
