So will you use that custom Pro Clear sump in your new set-up? Yep, that's the plan! Also going to be using the Aquaticlife T5 I picked up along with my Radion G4 Pro. Should be a pretty sweet setup. The move is in May, so I will have to keep the two tiny tanks running for 6 months or so. Planning to continue collecting corals to take with me. 2 Quote Link to comment

Those two, especially the one with an orange skirt and red/purple disk, were the driving force behind the impulse buy. I guess I finally got on the rock flower band wagon. Going to end up with a few more for sure! 1 Quote Link to comment

I haven't plumbed mine up yet, buuut I am happy to help you out however I can while you set it up! Quote Link to comment
TJ_Burton Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Welp... taking care of two 7 gallon bare bottom frag tanks sucks, so I picked up a RedSea Max Nano to make life easier and keep parameters stable without nearly as much effort. Going to get that set up this weekend and move it all over into the one system. Woot! 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Tank number two! It's a slippery slope Is it really just for frags though? Quote Link to comment

Hahaha well here is the story. Had to shut down the main reef as per realestate agent's advice since we are selling the home In all honesty with baby number 2 I was running out of time to work on it. Kept all my softies and set up the two 7 gallon tanks so that I could take those corals with me when I move. SPS were not going to fair well, and I wanted to keep my collection of zoas etc. Two 7 gals are too much of a pain to look after so I got the RSM to merge them together into a more manageable setup. When I move I'm planning a large system and some frag systems so I can go big! Hahaha. 2 Quote Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Oh I totally missed the move and tear down on the other page! Pesky real estate agents That's great you'll be able to hang onto some of your coral collection in the move! 1 Quote Link to comment

Just moved to Nova Scotia from Ontario, and my lovely wife gave me free run of the 3 rooms in the basement. Currently trying to turn one into my office, and the others... I think I will have to turn into supporting rooms for the reef tank haha. I still have all the components for the original Purple Orange and Grey build, so I think I might start off by finishing that. Thoughts? 3 Quote Link to comment
Lula_Mae Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Would be neat to see the finished setup you had planned. Did you get rid of the massive freshwater tank you did the videos of? Quote Link to comment

I ended up selling it, and will hopefully get to do another huge build 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment

kristonenicolas Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 sent you one too! I apologize tho as its regarding he INOUT overflow. I just finished all 10 pages of this build and found out you don't have the tank anymore =[ anyway, maybe you can still provide some input. Do you think the risk of flooding is high d/t only having one overflow? Quote Link to comment

No sweat at all 🙂 I actually do still have it and will be finishing up my intended changed to it before I restart the system (all livestock sold due to my move from Ontario to Nova Scotia).

TJ_Burton Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 Going to be doing videos on this build too, but here is a peek at how the plumbing is coming along. White elbows will be swapped for grey (could not bend the PVC tight enough to avoid them) but beyond that it's coming along well. Dying to get this thing full of water!!! 3 5 Quote Link to comment
Rory282 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Finally, you are doing something with that awesome sump. Good to see you back Thomas! 1 1 Quote Link to comment
