Rob's 150 gal reef build
Recently we moved (locally) and my 220 gal tank will not fit in the space that we have chosen at the new house. There is a walled off area in the garage on the backside of the wall where the tank will go, which I want to use for the sump, filtration, etc. It's a 5 x 11 space so there should be room for my sump, water changing station, etc.
Here is the current state of things. My livestock and corals have been in these 150 and 50 gallon holding tanks for 10 weeks and are not super happy. The
Finally hooked the rollermat filter back up. I'm not sure if it will stay in this configuration or not. I wanted to run the entire tank overflow through it but that is too much flow . It's designed to handle about 600 GPH so the main overflow has a drain valve branched off of it so that I can regulate how much goes into the filter and how much just dumps into the sump. This means that only a portion of the return water is getting filtered through the rollermat. I guess some is better than none.
