Where's a picture of the picture taker? We need to see the matriarch of the 224 gallon tank, way cool!

AQTCJAK · 09-10-2007, 11:53 PM

So now we are to the part everyone was waiting for the sump room. The sump is a 54 gallon tank 36x18x18 with the top of the sump @ ground level. The RO/DI system is a Kent Marine 4 Stage with a add on DI chamber & Auto hut off Switch. Skimmer Aqua C 180, UV is a Current Gamma 40 Watt, Main Pump A Sequence Dart 3600GPH, Skimmer Pump is a MAG5, UV Pond MAG2. Water Changing System consists of 2 Brut 33 Gallon Heavy Duty Trash Cans in the process of begin plumbed so Vicki’s mom can do the changes without lifting a drop of water. Cooling for now is a regular house fan it keeps the tank @ 79 degrees F. There will be more on the sump room in the next few stages

All I can say is this is very interesting to watch. I'm sure glad I didn't have to figure this out! You will love not having to lift a drop of water for the WCs! Can't believe you don't already have that set up! Does the tank have an ATO too? Sorry you might have already told me that, just don't know yet.

AQTCJAK · 09-11-2007, 12:23 AM
