I got the term2. Awesome piece of equipment. Once I get the replacement parts I will be able to run it.

It makes my room hot, humid, bright, and loud.

People, do not put a reef set up in bedroom. That was the biggest mistake. I have had it with this. The reef is to go back into the dining room. I hate the SW side of hobby in my room. It dose not belong.

In the move I will work out ALL of the various problems. This system was put at the curb for a damn good reason. Owners probably realized this and started over with a reengineered system.

My plan is to use my 29g to house all the animals ( I am upgrading my FW 29 to a 65 planted ) wile I move the tank. Before I move It I want to built a new stand to move it onto. The one now is not a show stand at all. And it is inches from square as the floor settling stressed it beyond what it could take.

So a new stand, location, plumbing, and sump.
The sump is way to small. a 10g just dose not work. I only have room for a heater, return pump, and carbon. MY skimmer sits on the floor next to it. And with the small volume sump I can only run about 3" water in it safely due to what back washes into it when the power is off.

For the stand I plan a black and stainless. It will really not match the house or it furnishings but my reefs black. To me, a reef is very much a black tank. Black lights, PHs, pumps, PH probes, BHs, sump trim, and all. The look of brushed stainless works ell. It ain't gonna match anyway, might as well ad metal.

Reef is grinding my gears. Once I finish my new 65g planted I rake the old 29 and use it to house my SW animals wile I rebuild the reef in the dining room- the right way.
Meanwhile I built a new filter for the QT. Same concept, but this one works.

I think I might be behind on this thread.

I have my 29g set up as a SW in the basement. Once it cycles I will move all the LR/animals into it. Then tear down my reef. It will be moved into the dining room and rebuilt the right way.

Here are some plans for the inside of the stand.

Shes pretty, isn't she?;

Looks like it will be a fine setup Paul

Compared to the last stand ( the FW one I am currently working on ) this one will be about free. the FW one was/is $4-500 this one should be about 200.
