Default Re: 180G Reef Start to Finish

Hey Everyone,

So my pump came in and i also picked up a Coralife 50 gallon per day R/O Unit which crapped out after making 20 gallons so im going to take it back this weekend and exchange it.

I have had the last few days off work and have been able to work on the tank and my basement here are some pictures.

Here's some pic's of the sump , make sure you use plumbing tape to seal any threaded pieces.







Here's some pic's of the sump pump, notice the union on the return spout this comes in handy when the pump needs to be cleaned. Also notice the flex hose attached to the intake spout, this allows for less vibration and flexiabiliy to be able to move the pump around a lil bit but more so for vibration issues.



Unions are around $15 - $40 depending on size and if you get one with a valve included

Like my hose holder lol

Here's my MESS of a fish room lol i will be cleaning it up shortly, this is just to show you were i have hung the R/O unit but just so you know, this is not all finished yet i still have to finish the room with framming and drywall, I just want the tank cycled during the process.



And here's some pic's of the basement after i tore all the old sheet rock off and now im going to put all new wiring in the basement and frame the walls and go from there. Just waiting on my friend Ty to come help me with the wiring as he does it for a living.
