Big update. Though you guys could use some new pictures.
Main Cabinet fully online now. Only thing not done is the pump for draining the tank and that's just because I need to go buy some longer hose.
The main plumbing system that goes upstairs. The valves halfway up are the siphon lines.
I just finished the faux rock wall for the second tank. Just waiting for the cement rock i made to finish curing to get it all in the second tank.
A look at the beananimal style overflow I put together (few modifications). Mainly I added a check valve to the siphon line to get the siphon started because the water is traveling such a long distance. Works fantastically, dead silent.
A (terrible picture) of the plumbing under tank 1. I had to redo it so many times it got a little cluttered, but it works. The pump here (eheim) is very quiet, almost cannot hear it even without cabinetry.
The plumbing under tank 2, much simpler. Still waiting for my second oceanmotions device to get back from being repaired. I also broke the fitting on the eheim for this tank, i glued it back together but I'm not sure if it's going to hold.
The main pump (Reeflo Blackfin upgraded to 6000gph)
My refugium (sand rock, waiting for my last shipment to come in).
A look at the turf scrubber running. Working very well for only a week's run time. Going to clean it for the first time soon. The last light there is using a modified drip catcher for a stove i found at walmart. I just banged it out to be round, cut a larger hole in it, and put some aluminum foil over the hole (glued in place). I might put one on the far side too, but its tough to get to at the moment.
A look at tank 1 pretty much complete again.
A look at the top of tank1.
