Hi Zurk666
"reef pool"
I like that name!
This idea came to me because of electrical costs... i was fed up with the electrical bills, now accounting all pumps, controllers and reactores, i have about 100Watts of power.
cold
For the water heat i have 300Watts, this only work about 8 hours a day in the winter time.
heat
For the heat of the day i have a DIY chiller with 200Watts that only works 2 hours a day.
These 2 are guide by a temperature controller, with 1ºC diferencial.
Pumps
I have a 2000lt/h and a 3000 lt/h pumps from the sump to the tank, the last pump is use also to feed the skimmer (1000lt/h).
About the layout, is my intention to completely fill all the live rock with sps and lps
Ricardo, doing god?
I access to the tank by taking the cover, is the rectangular box you see, this has a 1500mm x 300mm wide, plenty of room for me to get in and take a bath... just a joke.
Best Regards
