    DrWonga's Eco-Reef 40B

    When I got it, I needed one that came with a pump, since our water pressure is low. I also wanted one that had a lower water rejection rate. This is the Aquatic Life 100GPD RODI unit, with an integrated pump. They don't make it anymore, but it uses standard parts inside. It works pretty well!

    Here are some photos of the progress I'm making on the RODI station. Build the stand, stained, and coated. Mounted the RODI unit, and just added some tubing management. I have to still get the remaining two Brute containers for freshwater and saltwater mix, some PVC valves, and some uniseals...

    DrWonga's Eco-Reef 40B

    The non-reef stuff is finally complete, and I've started working on a saltwater mixing station. Hopefully in a week or so, I can show the basic setup. I'm looking to pull in our town's water, filter it through the RODI, and store both the waste water (for the garden), and the RO water in...

    DrWonga's Eco-Reef 40B

    Been working on the garage, finishing it up before I setup the RODI station, so no reef related items per say. I'm thinking about livestock for the tank, and would like to go with LPS and giant clams, in a lagoon style layout. To that end, I'm strugging with lighting decisions. I've read that...

    Wow, neat!

    I think I may build it. I built a 20 gallon long stand before, so I think I could do this and have it come out looking somewhat decent. I know I want to make the stand longer than the tank, so I can fit in a false wall on the left side for wire management and all the electronics for the tank...

    Red Sea Reefer 450 Build

    Ohhh, a Red Sea build! One of my favorite biotopes! Can't wait to see how it is stocked!

    DrWonga's Eco-Reef 40B

    Giving this project a bit more thought - I'm wondering if I should keep the metal stand it is currently sitting on, or build a custom wood stand? I can always re-purpose the stand in the garage for storage. Building a custom wood stand would allow me to fit the sump, an ATO reservoir, and a...

    Thanks guys! I was originally thinking of black, but I may do a deep blue/black.

    Hello Folks, So, I'm starting a little tank build here. This will probably be a long term project, as I'm getting back into the hobby after a few years out. Luckily, I still have some equipment, so I'm not starting from scratch. (ie: I have a skimmer, a heater, a stand, etc) The idea behind...

    Hi All!

    Hi SLGBlue! Thanks! I've been brainstorming some features I want to have on the station, to make life easier!

    Wow! That is spectacular! I had no idea mushrooms could look like that!

    Hi All!

    Hi Phuong, Thanks for the info - I had no idea they even did that. I'm hoping with a proper RODI station, and a few enhancements to make filling up the water easier, that I'll be using RO water from now on.

    Hi All!

    Thanks Newjack! I'm quite interested in the new lighting options, and like you said, just discovered DC pumps, which I have no clue about! I will definitely be asking a ton of questions when my build starts. I'm looking for a way of creating and running an eco-friendly tank, with minimal...
