fightinghippo Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Let me start by saying that by nature I am not as organized as others on here. I look at all these wonderful tank builds and the step by step documentation of all the work but I know I can never do that [emoji31]. Too lazy. I wanted to document the process of setting my new build for quite some time now but never got to it. I got the tank a couple months back and it has been sitting in my garage for while. Finally made time last month and started plumbing for bean animal drain. This is a DSA Tank with three drains and two over flows. So it made it easier (hmmm may be the term easier is relative as it took me a while to tune) to incorporate beananimal design I have a 75 gallon sump Which I wanted to incorporate the ro section instead of having the two 5 gallon containers I had next to the tank. By the way my wife hates seeing those and made it a point to tell everyone who came over. So I closed in a section about 13g inside the sump just for Ato Plumbing below: Sump: Equipment: 3 Radion gen 3 pro Jaebo dct 12000 (TY Ty I know that would you crazy) Skimmer sca 160 (will need to upgrade) 3 mp40 and 1 mp60. But not using all yet Reefbrite led strip for fuge/sump Apex controller I have 48" coralife t5 fixtures I may add later. I already have the space in diy hanging kit I am using for Radions. Will get a pic of it later and add it. Finally setup rock (thanks Kim and Tim for the video) added water and moved the fish. Lost all corals as I neglected the old tank due to trash paly takeover. So here it is as it is now http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160726/245f0ee9b8270fc4a5452d0e2c8be1cb.jpg To be continued.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
