If you lived closer to me, I'd let you borrow my booster pump. Think about how long it is going to fill a 200 DD! :eek:

I got a booster. It's still takes forever. It's at about 3/4 now. That's just the frag tank. I still have the sump, fuge and circ tank to go.

Been tossing it around for a while now. I have everything I need minus the membrane already.

To be fair I did make somewhere in the 55-60gal range yesterday. I usually average around 5gal in just under an hr. So that's pretty darn good.

New update.
Water is at capacity and I was hoping to get the DSB in today but UPS screwed me and I'll have to wait a few more days. Tonight I'll be adding a bit of stone I have been saving up and a nice piece of LR from my other tank. And the cycle will be underway.
Sump and reactors

Frag tank

This will be the refugium with DSB

And my RODI is all back to normal and ready to go. Got this to shut off when storage container is full. Pardon the mess

I don't expect the cycle to go to long considering I'm really just transferring everything over from my 90. Really I just want to let it run for a couple if weeks to work out any issues.

I would say you went past slow march to brisk stroll. Glad to see everything is coming together so well.

So I've been moving along and started transferring some corals to the frag tank today.

Here is the frag tank in place

Refugium though I still need to add a bit of sand which will come from the 90 when I break down. Also has my snowflakes in there for now. Not exactly sure what I'm doing with them yet.

Picked this up the other day and intended to use it as a circulation tank but low and behold it's all tempered so I made it a salt mix tank instead. 47gal.

I set up PVC to hold a syphon so that I can pull water without having to use a pump.

Here is the whole shabang. The empty space will be for the circulation tank. I'm planning on either a 44gal pentagon or a 37gal pillar to use there

Next up is to continue moving corals and stone. I also will be ordering my skimmer in the next few days and I need to get a new light for the refugium, leaning towards a 2 bulb T5. I figure that should be plenty to get to the bottom of the 24" tank. Anyone have thoughts on that fire away. Till next time thanks for looking.

If you are growing macro in the refugium. I'd go with cfl,6000K. A lot of the red macro does not need near as much light as you think. Too much light can slow growth. JMO. Way to go on set up, that is one well though out plan. I really like it and I think the cut flat rock would be good for you as you prefer the disks for frags. This way you just lay em on stone instead of egg crate and get the added bonus of more live rock.
