I finally moved the 75G into place this weekend. I also cut the acrylic for baffles and with the help of my
DIY guru, made a holding bracket for my auto top off, float valve. Check it out!
I now am on hold until the glass company makes my 1/4" 17 and 1/4 by 18 inch pane that I'll be using for the ultimate
refugium on the left side.
Basically, water will come from the floor above and enter the
sump on the right. There will also be a "T" with a ball valve to divert some water to the extreme left. It is there that the
fuge will be. The
fuge will cascade into the return pump chamber. The other water flow traverses a series of baffles and also visits the return pump chamber. For now, I will be running two
HOT skimmers while I save for my new Euroreef
Skimmer. The float valve assembly will live in the return pump chamber.
The
fuge will run at about 18 inches in depth. The first baffle on the right is also set high (for now) to allow for 18 inches of water. This is due to my needs for
HOT skimming at this time. The center of the
sump will run in and around 10 inches in depth.
I can't wait to get it all done and cut a hole in my floor!
