Hey everyone!,
I have a long term plan over the next 2 years of building a few aquariums and shelving to turn a poolside octaganal gazebo in to a full enclosed aquarium room......
the plan is to have 2 shelves, 1 on each side of the room holding 3 48x20x20 Inch tanks each. I am contemplating building a single sump for each shelf of 3 to help with any disease managment problems that may 1 day occur, i was also going to attempt to design the sumps so each tank can be turn off from the sump individualy at any time with out having to stop water supply to the remainding tanks.
Ontop of that i was going to build approx 2 8ft tanks 96x30x25Inches(Length,Depth,Hieght)following the shape of the gazebo along the walls to fill up the gaps between the 2 shelves.....Unfortunatly i am stuck......
I have drawn up designs for the shelves already including doors and cupboards for each level,tanks,and everything i need bar the sump and piping......
these tanks will all be used for various fresh water cichlids and was wondering if any one could help me in the design of the sump,sump size and piping to do so or email me some photo's to get ideas off or other links to sites that may help.
Thanks heaps for your help guys!!!
