Shallow reef tank Tank rebuild!
Hi everyone I am redoing my tank and I'm going to try and keep track of it on here. The tank is a 8'x 24"x 14" tall acrylic.. It has coast to coast overflow with three 1.5" drain lines. The pics are from about 2 years ago when things were going great. Most stuff died so I'm redoing things and here we go! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...39e49a9ac2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0e457b7ed8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0931532f9c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b83c0db193.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2e5fa94151.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...61ed45e45c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d4cba483be.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2d3e9f5e4b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6f695604ed.jpg

Got some of the rocks put together, then I will somewhat build the closed loop around them to make sure everything has good flowhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5abbb275f0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0ebd94ac7c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...62fd4fed18.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b41a23bff9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6116029356.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...110d758091.jpg

Started adding the outlets today, 8 of them will be on their own switch split up between two circuits. And a third circuit running some regular outlets. All switches will be grouped together at one side of the sump. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d2d897ddff.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...27b50fca8a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fe1ef08042.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ba10c8d39e.jpg

No pics of coral yet, but I got the wire ran from the switches to the outlets and started putting up drywall. Maybe tomorrow, adding a tee to the main sewer line so all water changes, skimmer waste, and ro waste will be tied into that line. Getting therehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...388bd933c2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...068834ba36.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...52c3e74796.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...751925ccdc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a407a2ca5a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d43d5aebf1.jpg

Got the pump where it's going to sit, drilled one of the lids for the (x3) 1.5" drainlines and cut lid to access the socks. Next, to add a frag tank inside the sump as part of it, some water will go through frag section, the rest will flow behind it, all flow is from left to right. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...432a695cc4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7e8080b704.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...790e4c1a78.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1a45cee6fd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fa42a47848.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...640e6cda9f.jpg

There will be live rock behind it in the main part of the sumphttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0e5fd116f9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2909a7463c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d80d8f3616.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...62201b1a27.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6470e74352.jpg
