SRC Member oceanviper Posted June 19, 2020 SRC Member Share Posted June 19, 2020 Hi reefers... While slowing getting my new home key collection, also planning to setup a new tank at new place. The tank will be 4x2x1.8 ( not so deep ) for mixed reef. The cabinet will be using aluminum profile extrusion with acrylic for the cabinet wall ( easy maintenance, water resistant, variety of colors ) The display tank will be using 12mm~15mm glass with bracing on top and bottom. The top bracing is to prevent water splashing out although rimless is nice to have. The overflow will be on the side with bean animal setup. For rock, will start with dead rocks that vinegar clean, RODI rinse and dipped for 3 months ++ before take out and sunbath as seen on the picture below.... WIll place back for bacteria cure while waiting for the new tank ready....and cycle together.... For equipment : 1. Drop-in coil with existing 1HP LG compressor. 2. Bubble Magus C7/C9 Protein Skimmer 3. Skimz Calcium Reactor 4. DIY LED light ( with Maspect hanging kit and 2020 aluminium extrusion as frame ) 5. Skimz SS18.0 x 3 6. Skimz Return Pump ( DC9.0 ) or higher ( current using Jebao DC9000 ) 7. Media ( Marine Pure Sphere ). 8. China RODI ( 5-stages with local filter/media ) 9. Inline TDS checker ( add-on ) to China RODI for monitoring TDS 10. Auto top-up using float switch to control connected to RODI output 11. Skimz Pur Reef Salt Any comments, please feel free to post....

SRC Member JiaEn Posted January 18, 2021 SRC Member Share Posted January 18, 2021 You can consider terminating the emergency drain higher above the sump water level. In the event of emergency activation, you will have an audible cue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the event of emergency activation, you will have an audible cue. Thanks for the suggestion.As the overflow area is transparent, if the water level reaches the emergency pipe level or higher than the usual, is indicated some minor clogging at the normal pipe and would need to do some maintenance before it flow down from the emergency pipe.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Tank : 3 x 2 x 1.8 ( setup end Feb 2014 ) --> 4 x 2 x 1.8 ( setup early Nov 2016 ) Skimmer : Bubble Magus NAC6 --> Bubble Magus Curve 7 Return pump : Jebao 10000l/h ( down in 17th December 2014 ) --> Jebao DC-12000 ( 19th December 2014 ) Compressor drop-in coil Wavemaker : Tunze 6105 x 1 Lights : Modular based DIY LED light x 4 Chaeto in the sump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bean animal drain is dead silent. So an audible warning is very obvious. And this can be done with minimum effort and little drawbacks.
