sad to say. I'm selling this whole setup . I barely used it. link to RC. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2683563 also selling unused and unopened Aquaforest products and 2 reefsalt, 3part etc. in RC.

was thinking that the suction from draining will keep the unglued section from dropping in the tank. I may just use threaded without the pvc paste.

Time to fab up the water change hose setup. got this 100 foot vinyl hose from a hydroponics website.

Gluing done !!

the first design had the tank bulkheads on the front but quickly realized that it took up a big footprint on a limited space. Mocked up the design to have the bulkheads on the inner sides. only thing is that the float is now at the front ( top right tank ) :-(

cutting up some rubber mat for spills and to help a little with vibration noise. finally got the project going due to the holidays.

you can go to any of those tank manufacturers and choose any configuration that you would like if you want it more customized to your needs.

Its on sale too! You cant beat that price. I like those older style Brutes. I have a white one. The regular priced 55 gal brute container costs more than the ace roto mold containers. I was able to get those 2 55 gallon containers for less than $200.

only reason I did this was for the wife. I have 3 tanks. the DT is in the living room and the 2 QTs in the playroom. My wife hates water change day, which meant brute containers, hoses, salt, etc all over the house. She hated having all the clutter as I wait for the water to heat up. Took me a...

Great question. these things are pretty reasonable but freight is expensive. with the help of google searching i was able to get these free shipped through Ruralking.com I found them to be the cheapest with freight included. NO tax since its out of state.

1" uniseal for the mixing tank pipe and 1 1/4" for the heater to go through.

Was thinking about putting a level indicator using these bulkhead push connects and clear tubing. Not sure yet cause the tanks seem more transparent enough to see water level. It will probably end up installed on the brute containers instead.

Mocking up the plumbing. Always wanted to use those banjo quick connects for a while.

got the Iwaki ready. Should have gotten the USA made ones that came with the plug. But I wanted the more compact Japanese version. But with the homedepot rigged box it ended up using the same amount of space.

not sure if these Aquatec plastic brackets will holdup being vertical with the weight of the Aquatec. ending up using these TBolt clamps with rubber padded mounts. I've always wanted to use car parts for the reef hobby! cut up some neoprene to line the clamps as well

added a simple 4 channel switch for the main pump, heater, the aquatec, and possible under cabinet led lights

moved the RODI unit above the two tanks. hooked it up to the washer. saddled to a piece of 1 1/4 pvc then slipped it down the 2" drain prefilter before the Aquatec Float...

Always wanted to do this. I was getting tired of making a mess each time. I wanted a slightly more automated setup. I configured it to collect RODI on one tank and then mix the saltwater on the other. Will also utilize the pump to bring water to fish tanks and ATO. Will also have the choice to...
