New 65G custom Peninsula going in!

[lbzking]

I picked up the tank last week from https://advancedacrylics.com in Orange county. John the owner is awesome! We started the stand build yesterday. The tank is 40"x20x20 2 1" overflows and 3/4" return. The sump is a Fiji advanced reef 30, soon to have a Klir fleece roller in it. Maxspect RSX420 light. 2 Maxspect Gyer 4k pumps Main Pump is a Maxspect TURBINE. Skimmer is AquaMaxx Cos1. Refugium has a Kessil Tuna fuge light. The Controller is a Hydros system for the pumps flow and dosing. Lights and main Pump is controlled by an Maxspect ICV6. So i had an idea, so i wouldn't be opening my stand doors all the time to look at the wonder and beauty of my sump! The stand will have a plexiglass window in the front to view the sump Refugium and main Pump! Hell ya! Why not! . Should look pretty cool when finished. More to come!

Just built the box for the Hydros system. Going to mount a Hydros Launch on top. Need to raise it up 3" so not to impeded on the sump.

Following along!

The Hydros Launch is on the way and will soon be on the board!

Got the new Hydros Launch and the Bubble Magus Filter Roller the other day. The Bubble Magus AF-S fits perfectly in the Fiji sump! The Hydros launch is killer. PH probe water sensor, flow sensor and refugium pump with be monitored. Along with skimmer and main Pump. Plumbing is done and ru. Er neoprene is layed out on the walls of the sump area. More to come!!!

The sump is in! Plumbing and controller's are all hooked up and all we need now is water.

Looks awesome, the roller mat and skimmer are in the same chamber? Are you doing an external ATO reservoir?

Thank you! Today is leak testing! Wish me luck!

 

[lbzking]

Well filled the sump and tank as much as I could with my RODI water so far no leaks! Keep your fingers crossed. I'm making more RO water now should have another 50g by tonight and then I'll be able to test the overflow and adjust the flow volume though the tank and sump correctly. Watch the video. More to come!

Ya I had to put it on that area. 1 return going into the biomedia chamber and the other return into the roller. Should be good to go. I hope.

Oh! Yes on the external ATO it's a 7gal made by the guy that built the tank. It's pretty sic.

Looks awesome! Really excited to hear about the hydros. I've been getting increasingly interested in them.

Ya the app is really great so far. I like that I can monitor the tank remotely.

The interface looks slick, and so does the actual equipment!

I'm always concerned I'm going to be overly restricted with gear choices. Can you plug most stuff in, or do all the pumps, lights etc have to be a specific brand/model?

No, you can pug in whatever you want and name it within the app. I also have a smart wifi 4 outlet power strip too. Hydros sell a branded one but I got the exact same thing on Amazon for $24.
