Thread: my tank 90 gallon saltwater reef tank build

  1. #1

    Default my tank 90 gallon saltwater reef tank build

    So 99% done with plumbing, glued everything. Adding a ball valve on return pump on right and an adapter on drain line to do WC's...Getting my live rock and live sand Wedn. to get everything going...

    Looks like its coming together. So you turn a valve to drain the water (3 valves)? Where does it go?

    the 3 ball valves are to control flow on the closed loop system. The drain will go where there is a T on right side connected to the durso drain coming from overflow box. Putting a valve and a water hose connections to hook hose to and run to the yard. Going to have this system setup for little to no hands in the tank..Putting in the valve today.

    Troy, tank looks great. I love the closed loop and how all the plumbing will be hidden in your live rock. Are you using a skimmer? If so what kind and Size? I love marine and Reef tanks. Had a few myself anything from a 50 Gal. Reef c/w 50 Gal. sump to a 375 Gal. wil a total volume of 600 gallon. Keep us posted on the progress.

    I think a Reef Octopus 250 skimmer would work perfectly.

    Troy are those halide pendants or LED? Can you link your supplier or did they come with the setup?

    It's obviously a well thought out and planned setup. Looks great even empty.
