Clint's gone crazy build (1 Viewer)

Looks like a great set up.


two things that stand out to me are (this is the critique you asked for)

The 6 led instead of 2 - 250 mh lights. I don't think you would have any color temperature advantage if you used 2 10,000k mh bulbs and what ever combo of blue-purple t5's to control temp. electricity consumption would be a bit less as well.

Ive never been a fan of closed loop systems when you could be running that water through another cheato tank, a sump with some carbon, and so on.

I don't know how much space you have but what about running two different loops through two separate sumps with protein skimmers, fuge, and cheato tanks?
 
Just my 2 cents. I remember Energy saying one time, to keep his large system simple. He said at first he had all the gadgets and one by one took them out. I believe he said all the water coming out of the tank was plumbed straight to the Skimmer.
 
Clint, I can't read the text in the different tanks. What are they all (going from left to right)?
 
Clint, I had another idea for you from a different thread I was reading earlier today, and thinking about Chad's 200 gallon he's setting up with lots of "natural food" (oyster eggs, pep shrimp and hermit larvae, others?). What do you think about some mollies? They're great algae eaters, and breed prolifically giving your fish some fresh live food once in awhile. If you have them in the display, the free swimming fry would make quick live meals for your larger fish. If you had them somewhere in your many sumps/fuges, they might get a big chopped up by the return pump, but it'd be free food even still. I'll have to look at your plumbing setup again, but you could house them in a section of your filtration tanks so they'd just eat more of the excess food. Maybe in the NPS section? Thoughts?
 
Well, word is BREAK UP and both have disappeared for the last 2 months or so.........

Just sharing the knowledge I have

That sucks man...

I figured out my lighting stuff though , so no need to respond to my PM.

looking forward to seeing this tank of yours come together:biggthumpup:
 
yeah it kinda sucks..... but you dig your own grave, and if you cant lay in it.... don't dig it.... it sucks... i feel ****ty about it but who knows what the future holds.... people are brought into your life or certain reasons and they are removed from it for certain reasons... anyways, enough on that topic...

ill be getting back on here more and more here over the next week or so... gotta get some things in order first.... anyway... its nice to finally be back
