EthanK77"s 125 build

ethank77 · 07/18/2009, 07:28 PM

This build started about dec. 07 and is now starting to move a bit but to start at the begiing. I decided that if I were going to have a 125 and a 58 that I needed a good water maker and a place not in my kitchen to make water store equip and do testing ect. that is where I came up with this.

I built a 16x24 shed sealed up a 8x16 room for just my hobby complete with 5 stage rodi with dual di canisters from brs. fresh water tank and mixing tank for water chang day prep. And of course an air con since I live is south east texas. Ounce that was complete I began this build starting with a 125 gal perfecto tank no the best but will hold water with out leaking.

Next I purchased stand from deep sea aquatics because of the end doors alow me to put a 40 long sump in it .

All this had to thene be asembled and plumbed.

canopy will be in soon nad hope fully I will be able to make a lighting decision soon. But for some info the return pump is a mag 18 charging a 1.1/4 manifold to 4 3/4 j tubes. Tank drilled with 4 1 in bulk heads and flow boxes installed. All hard piped with many valves and unions for isolation and removal purpases. This build has turned into a lot of fun and learning. New installments to come soon.
