New member to the site. I have to tell you in advance that I was quite impressed by the pictures. It is apparent that you did a good job in planning out the setup as well as documenting with the Visio drawings. I am in the early stages of setting up a system in the basement of my residence. At this point I have built the stand for the 215 Oceanic ReefReady out of 2x4 & 2x6's. The thing is rock solid. Some of the equipment will come from my existing 65 reef. We also plan on adding a row of shallow / slow flow tanks down the road. This would probably add approximately 100 - 150 gallons to the closed system.
Tank was delivered last week. It took three of us to get it in place. I would not recommend moving this tank with three people unless they are frequent gym members. We used a furniture dolly to move it from the driveway , through the patio and kitchen, and finally downstairs. Like I previously mentioned it was not for the weak of heart.
Getting back to the original scope of this thread. Very impressed with your setup. I had a few questions that I was wondering if you could provide some feedback on given the duration you have had the tank setup.
1) How do you like the Sequence pump? Any general comments or feedback about this brand for a consumer considering a 4300?
2) What type of skimmer are you currently running? Any objections or comments?
3) Have you run into any moisture or even worse (mold) issues in your home?
3) Do you have any "lessons learned" either with the actual plumbing design or setup as well as any other part of the project that you could share?
Thanks in advance.
