I started this project in November of 2019 so this has been in the works for quite some time now. I have had multiple WAMAS members mention that they would like to see a build thread of my 336g display tank and fish room. This will mostly be just a collection of pictures from along the way of the build. I have more in-depth documentation and details on my Instagram if you are interested but I will also try and answer questions on here as. Feel free to follow along with my future progress on my Instagram: @SemperFiSeaCoral Main Equipment: Display Tank: 336g tank built by Top Shelf Aquatics in Winter Park, FL (96”x30”x27”) 3/4” starphire glass. External overflow with three 1.5” drains and two 1” returns. Stand: powder coated aluminum with marine grade plywood Plumbing: Schedule 80 fittings with blue PVC for main lines and red PVC for emergency overflows Theiling RollerMat Eshopps Axium X-750 protein skimmer Eshopps Titan class Royal sump Two Reeflo Hammerhead return pumps (one on use and one as a plumbed in emergency standby) Pentair Smart UV 80w sterilizer Clear Water CW-300 Algae Turf Scrubber Lighting: 6 AI Hydra 64 HDs 6 AliE 470nm supplemental blue LED bars Flow: 4 Maxspect Gyre XF-350s 4 Ecotech MP-40s Power supply: Two designated 20amp circuits broken into 7 weather proof outlets. Both circuits are tied into my generator transfer switch for emergency back up. Control: GHL Profilux 4 Eventually adding the KH and Ion directors, an additional doing pump for trace elements, and a Maxi dosing pump for auto water changes. CaRx: GEOs Reef CR818 with secondary chamber. Kamoer FX-STP Peristaltic dosing pump If there is something else you want to know feel free to ask. Now onto the pictures... Pictures start at present day and go back so if you want to see them in order start from the bottom up. Tank as it sits right now full and cycling! Water finally making it down to the sump once the tank was full. The first day of filling. Even with my 200gpd RODI it took 2.5 days. Theiling rollermat plumbing and other drains. Red lines are for emergency overflow. Main pump and emergency fail-over on standby. Through the floor and utility closet and into the fish room. Adjustable light supports in. Light mount trimmed with ranch molding. Power distribution and cable management. 80g frag tank (eventually will be tied into the main system). After the fixture was mounted. 3/4” PVC board mounted to the 2x4s Supports for light mount being tied into the floor joists above. Coming through the floor and into the utility closet. Topside of the light, where all the cables and power supplies are hidden on top of the acrylic panels. Black acrylic panels being cut for the light fixture and mounted to the 8020 extruded aluminum. Eshopps Sump and Skimmer, and Theiling RollerMat One of like a million plumbing orders. After supports were in. Plumbing in place, awaiting aluminum supports I made. Drilling through the stand, hardwood floor, and subfloor. Tank spaced away from the wall to allow the overflow box to clear. The morning after I made the 13 hours drive back from Florida. The pink foam was to protect the tank but to also put on the stand. TSA guys getting the tank loaded into the U-Haul BRS 7 Stage RODI with booster pump. Cabinet with DIY concrete counter top for storage and to hide sump pump. Storage More storage. Mapping out cabinet space. Power distribution and cable management. Vinyl waterproof wood look flooring and PVC base board installed and all seams caulked. If the room were to flood all water would go down the floor drain or sump well and cause no damage. Mold resistant PVC ceiling panels and LED lights going in. Planning out the walls for the utility closet and wash tub sink, I also relocated the water heater to the back of the utility closet to better optimize the space. The overhead duct was also relocated to the left side of the room to allow the ceiling to be higher. I am 6’2” and didn’t feel like dealing with a low ceiling. Utility closet wall, door, and wash tub sink installed. The room as it was when I purchased my house in November of 2019.
