Very nice set up.. When is the fill day?.. cant waite to see.

jhnrb · 02-11-2007, 10:32 PM

By June I hope. still have the calcium reactor, ozone system, two 55 gal barrels and pump system to plumb and wire in, and the wiring which will go fairly quick. Sooner the better at this point.

oh and finish up the r/o system including running the water feed lines from the valves above the sump.

Absolutely astounding work I must say! You are going for an ultimate reef with a set up like that. Fascinating thread for anyone interested in plumbing and technology behind the hobby. Good job!

Progress in the equipment room:

Modification of the CPR-CY294 - drilled two holes in the dividing plate between the two chambers to allow equalization to both of the skimmers in the cy-294.

Cut in bulkhead for feed line to Mag-7 pump which will feed the Euroreef Skimmer from the CPR-CY294 return chamber.

Feed line and return line to and from the Euroreef RC-250 which will loop back to the CPR-CY294.

Euroreef RC-250 Plumbed in and ready to go except for electrical.

Not this year. too far. cant schedule for that long of a trip either. When things settle down a bit and system is stablized. Hopefully next couple years if closer to west coast.

The ozone will be automated with controller and will be distributed to the Euroreef skimmer as well as the calcium reactor co2 will be by controller and probe. (dont want to give all away up front) pics as the systems develope.
