I have been running a 20 gallon long frag tank tied into my sons 40b since my 90 had a bad alk swing (my fault) a couple months ago. I had a plan to set up a larger frag tank on its own system before this all happened, now that things have gotten better I figured the time was here to move forward with my plan.
Some of you who have been to my house know and have seen where I make my water, for who haven't it is a small area under my stairs to the second floor. It's pretty tight but it's what I have to work with. That being said along with making water I have decided to put a frag system in there also.
The System
40b, 20 long sump, and a 15 gallon cube remote refugium
Lighting will be 4-39watt bulb t5
Return is jeabo 6000
Skimmer is a reef octopus nw-150-6530b
gfo if used will be in a next reef MR1 reactor
Doser I haven't decided which to use yet
And ato will prob be a tunze
Water movement will probably be wp10 and wp25 I can't use a mp10 because there is no room on the sides of the tank for the magnets
I started last week and had to Sheetrock the walls and under the stairs Paint 1 coat primer and 2 coats semi gloss white Build shelf for 40 and 15 gal cube. I finished that up earlier this week and went on to the manifold (pics below).
I finished up last night and fired the system up with a temp Mag 9 and fresh water
no leaks!
I'm hoping to drain and fill it with fresh RODI and salt starting tomorrow
So here are a couple pics
