Thanks -- it will be a slow churn though. I need to move the 175g & frag tank to the garage first to stage the new tank. I can't really do hard plumbing and get things "flowing" unless it's in its final spot. It can be stressful to move the 3 Haddonis and then move back later.This is going to be epic, following!
that sump is awesome!Little update - spent the weekend gathering equipment for the build. Sunday was a full day of cleaning now the old equipment has been soaking in vinegar for a few days. Sump is almost brand new and the SRO 5000D calcium reactor is thoroughly cleaned as well. I’ll hook up to the Kamoer peristaltic pump to test later this week.
Next update: need to purchase a ginormous skimmer! Currently I have a Bubble Magus Nac9 that should work but a monster tank requires a monster skimmer?
Actually — I really need to move the 175g out of the way to start the plumbing. Can’t really do much in the garage atm.
That is going to be a lot of work but I can’t wait to see the outcome. I’m wishing you luck with all the transfers!Thanks -- it will be a slow churn though.

I'm planning to shut down the frag tank (attached pic) this week but the nervous part will be moving my 4 Colorado Sunbursts & the OG Bounce mother colony to other tanks.
Nice. I was like wteff about the 3" bulkhead. I never really seen one in aquaria, a few 2 1/2" with old wet dry stuff and the usual 2" stuff.btw: I bought this one and managed to get it to work. It was leaking initially but took a few prayers (and forceful turns) to tighten & stopped the leak since I didn't want to crack the PVC sides!
Thanks again for your help!
Cool - once you’re ready, let me know. I can start fragging more and let things encrust. The main tank is full - first world’s problem! HaNice. I was like wteff about the 3" bulkhead. I never really seen one in aquaria, a few 2 1/2" with old wet dry stuff and the usual 2" stuff.
Finally getting the ball rolling on my end with everything... Got the cube replacement coming, so I can finally get the frags from you after my trip.
The 360g will be mixed but with Haddonis (3 for now). Would like to end up with 7-8 Haddonis when I’m done! HaNo wonder you need a 360g, about 75% of the the same volume in that photo, lol. Going sps on that 175? Or one of the smaller ones.
Those red baskets are neat!Red filter floss basket anyone? Well, my gifted son 3D printed some media/filter floss baskets for the sump. The corner baskets be 4” high since they won’t fit due to the lip of the sump and the center will be 7”, all 7” diameter.
The MP40 nem guards will be white to blend in with the white side wall. Will see…
Not sure how those will look over time though. They will be filthy since I’m too lazy to swap them out regularly. lolThose red baskets are neat!
