finished my 2 -50 gallon RO top-off tanks...plumbed together for 100 gallons under the DT.
Side supports so they do not get kicked out of position.I'll probably have enough leaks to contend with without worrying about these!

that aluminum framing looks nice!

Ricardo18 · 12/30/2015, 09:57 PM

Both Qt tanks are in,Apex up and running (to be mounted after I see what wire mess I have to manage)
The QT tanks will each have their own sumps for water level control, because I will be filling with DT water every day.

Hi Ricardo. Looks like it's going to be a stunning set up . I've subscribed !

chimmike · 12/31/2015, 06:38 AM

Such a great fish room. Looks like you were very smart with use of space!

ceslane13 · 12/31/2015, 07:22 AM

That's one amazing fish room. Layout looks very well thought out.

Ricardo18 · 02/03/2016, 06:07 PM

My office view. The tank is now cycling, water still a little cloudy from suspended sand particles. The side shelf unit on the right is actually a secret door to my equipment room from my office.(don't tell anybody..it's my safe room)I will black out the rear once things are further on and I do not have to view things from the rear.

Ricardo18 · 02/03/2016, 06:12 PM

Everything is running as I want.Main pump moved outside.(nice and quiet) 8 Radions are up and programmed as is the apex for the Ecotech pumps and the rest.Both QT's on the right with their own systems. They are dripped into from the "waste" from the Genesis renew (on the left wall). Two reactors set up on the same wall.LifeReef skimmer waiting to come to life.A/C keeping the room nice and cool and my 2 exhaust fans keeping things dry.

That is the intention.I will still need to clean up the wires with cable runs once I know where everything goes.

Did you run the Hydra via Apex or Director ?

Very nice progress by the way and lovely cabinet work

I have the Radion's and I run them through Reeflink.
I have had trouble linking the units directly to Apex.I will try again down the road . I do have the Vortech pumps controlled by Apex..
